Unfortunately, you WOULD have to get permission from Sun to do that for
StarOffice. OpenOffice on the other hand ...
Has anyone successfully run OpenOffice yet? Last time I checked it out
I decided to download the source. Then I did the rtfming ... 24+ hours
to compile on a 700 MHz P3! That's a little more than I'm willing to
invest on something that might not even compile (especially since
OpenBSD doesn't have a native jdk/jre, yet).
On a related note, I seem to be one of very few people who have been
able to run StarOffice on OpenBSD. To be honest, it was nothing on
my part. I just installed the StarOffice 5.1a rpm from a Mandrake-
Linux 7.0 Deluxe CD set (disk #5), and it worked. I made some mention
of the fact that I was using StarOffice on an OpenBSD mailing list,
and have since been flooded with requests for my 'secret'. So getting
to my question, does anyone know of other sources for StarOffice rpms?
Or perhaps tarballs? It seems that the official package's installation
program is the root of problems w/OpenBSD. I want to prepare a canned
email with a list of places where people can find a rpm or tarball.
The requests are getting *annoying*, and I don't want to think about
it, but I don't want to leave people hanging either.
Of course, if StarOffice were really free, I would just publish
the rpm I have.

PS Don't tell me about w@r3z sites, I won't add them to the list.
