Be sure you're distinguishing between OOo and Java.  The former isn't the 
cause.

Now you know why noone regards Java as free software.

OpenOffice and Java downloads are such a pain!

2004-06-19 Thread Bruce
I can't believe how much of a pain installing Open-Office 2.0 from the
ports collection is. The port fails and tells me I need to download a
file from Sun because of licensing restrictions, so I download the file
it tells me too. Then start the compiling over again. Once again, I need
a different file. This is driving me crazy.
