I have spend hours searching for the answer to this problem, so now I have found it I will post it.

Demonstrate problem

Suppose I have a program that takes an option in the form:

myprog -t "Title of Document"

To test this we will create a script: testopt.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo option: «$1», title: «$2», ignore: «$3»

When we run it we get:

./testopt.sh  -t "Title of Document"
>> option: «-t», title: «Title of Document», ignore: «»

The problem shows up if instead of passing the arguments directly, we use a variable:

opt='-t "Title of Document"'
./testopt.sh  $opt

Office 97

1. Install package from CD
2. From a previous Windows install, copy system.mdw into .cxoffice/Microsoft Office 97/drive_c/windows/system32/
3. Download SR1, SR2b and the jet upgrade to SR2
4. Open the C/O bottle, find the run command and run each service pack in turn

Note that this crashed when I tried to open an Access form

Office XP

-It seems to only install into a Win98 bottle
1. Install package from CD
2. Download InstMsiA.exe - the Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows 95, 98
3. Download SP3 for office XP

Here are a few CPU oriented benchmarks for Linux.
I am not sure if they are available in packages for CentOS, so I have only given the Ubuntu packages:

(Please note that you will have to enable the community repositories for these)

#to unpack into a new folder
initfile=/mnt/initrd-2.6.18-194.11.1.el5.img
mkdir new; cd new
gunzip < $initfile | cpio -id

#make changes and rebuild with:
find ./ | cpio -H newc -o > ../initrd.cpio
cd ..
gzip initrd.cpio
mv $initfile ${initfile}.old
mv initrd.cpio.gz $initfile

You can install repository priorities: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
But a better solution might be to leave the extra repos disabled in the yum configuration and
install/update the packages you want from them with:
yum --enablerepo=reponame install packagename
