I checked it now, you indeed need the second CD for openoffice.org:

http://atterer.net/jigdo/jigdo-search.php?q=&l=http%3A%2F%2Fcdimage.debian.org%2Fcdimage%2Frelease%2F4.0_r0%2Fi386%2Fjigdo-cd%2Fdebian-40r0-i386-CD-2.jigdo

You can do your own searches here, for example to find your kernel headers:

http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#search

The kernel headers package will be called "linux-headers-XXX" where "XXX" corresponds to the output of "uname -r" for your running kernel.

You can also download individual .deb files from every Debian mirror, e.g. the kernel headers from the US mirror:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/

Do you need help?

However, for something like openoffice.org (which consists of many interdependent packages) it is probably better to get the relevant CD, scan it with "apt-cdrom" and let aptitude or apt-get take care of the dependencies for you.
