I've seen this problem too when I'm using the nvidia driver with the
RenderAccel option. Once I turned it off openoffice no longer froze
the machine. I think it's an nvidia driver problem that "hopefully"
will be fixed in the next release. Whenever that will be.

Yes.
It is in the ports.
But, it is easier to install from a package because its build
requires a huge amount of space. So go to:

Hi, yes there are several options in /usr/ports/editors
It's a huge compile, though, needs something like 3GB of hard drive and
takes a while. Installing as a package is another option.
You also, IIRC, have to jump through Sun's java li

Hi Stephen,

You are in "/root" now. If you use "su" instead of "su -", you will stay
in the current directory.

Open Office should be in /usr/local e. g.
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0/
Try
cd /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0/
and
./setup
(You have to have X running)
