I am not at all familiar with qemu but doesn't this imply to run Win* on my OpenBSD-system? NEVER, EVER!

Shorthandedly this is my way to get the job done: Installed Linux on a USB3-Stick with dd-comand from iso. Runs acceptably fast. Just need to switch from BIOS to UEFI. The only thing I noticed: Working at some distance to the WLAN access point with OpenBSD I have a connection but not with Linux though using the same hardware (iwm0).

I've used it on OpenBSD until Linux-compat was gone and everytime I tried to work with LibreOffice since I missed Softmake's office tools even more. (BTW - if the city of Munich had chosen to use Softmaker's office with LiMux I bet there would habe been less complaints about compatability with M$-documents. My 2c.) Just to be clear: LibreOffice is accaptable as long as it is LibreOffice only! Even though I am aware of the implications that come with an OpenBSD-version for Softmaker I will still ask - sometimes one has to try the unrelistic to make a progress. ;-) (As they support Mozilla's Thunderbird I hope they will at least listen before saying NO.)
