Yes, I understand that the project exists in the sense you describe. What I'm really asking is, doesn't the BrOffice project already provide the function you're describing: > download the necessary packages (about 250MB, or less) and install them > and/or built a DVD specific for that user. In other words, is there already a website that has a browsable repository of LibO files?
