I allocate 24 hours, rarely takes more than 20, to build OpenOffice. Uses 6-7G of disk.

Just curious...thanks in advance. I don't know about Gnome, but the last time I built OpenOffice from a port, it took several hours and I had to respond to some prompts and also get the JDK license piece from SUN (instructions are provided). The install from ports did not have to stay connected constantly all that time. It jumps on the net and grabs what it needs and then goes about building. My connection is 100 Mb here in the lab, but I don't know for sure what it is to the outside world - pretty fast though. jerry > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can do "make fetch" to fetch the required package distfiles first, or "make fetch-recursive" to fetch all the required distfiles of all packages required by this package. see "man ports" for other targets. /Bastiaan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
