Just something that should be mentioned: from: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/build_faq.html How much hard drive space needed for a full build of OpenOffice.org including source? The current recommendation is 3GB. The source code is ~328MB The build requires 2GB The creation of an installation set requires ~300MB. How long does an OpenOffice.org build take? Our current experience is that a full build of OpenOffice.org is approximately 20 hours on a single CPU Pentium III with 256MB of RAM running Linux. > > When the changes and build will have been verified by at least one of the > wise linux-il crowd, we would be very glad if somebody (iglu site?) can > put the update package and/or the executables on some ftp server for > everybody to download.
