Re: Running OpenOffice on OpenBSD-How do I start it?
Hmmm is OpenBSD able to run FreeBSD binaries? There is a binary build of OOo2.1 for FreeBSD on the OOo website. What about /usr/ports/editor/openoffice? -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html

Running OpenOffice on OpenBSD-How do I start it?
First, I am an absolute newbie. I purchased the OpenBSD 4.0 cd's and got it loaded and running and succesfully added the Samba and KDE packages. Installing OpenOffice and getting mail working are my next two projects with it. I am running an i386 machine with a 1.2 GHz AMD Athlon processor. To load OpenOffice with linux emulation I went to http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/openoffice_on_openbsd.html "Running OpenOffice on OpenBSD" First, edit /etc/fstab and add: /proc /proc procfs rw,linux 0 0 I did that and everything was fine. Next step: Then create /proc and mount it: mkdir /proc mount /proc I got the directory made allright, in /, Was I supposed to create it in /etc? Mount /proc gave me the following error: fstab: /etc/fstab: Inappropriate file type or format (line repeats once) /proc is now full of numbers in mostly 5 character groups with with cpuinfo,curproc,meminfo, and self on the right hand side of the numbers. It looks like a table. I would cut and paste but I do not have mail set up yet. I am a newbie so every step is hard and I wanted OpenOffice first. Working on the assumption that mount /proc worked, even with the error message, I continue on. I get all done and have it installed in /opt/openoffice.org2.1 Where do I go to start it and how do I get it into applications on the K Menu? I don't have a Start OpenOffice.org icon or anything. Please and thank you.l
