I said in my original email ...using the "PORTS .... of FreeBSD 6.1"
I also updated the ports collection BEFORE installing openoffice as advised in Chapter 4 of the latest FreeBSD Handbook. I also checked available space and was wrong ... I did have 11+GB available on that partition ... and installed the native JDK as the error message told me when I tried to install OO0-2.0 the first time ... that jdk-1.4.2 took over 12 hours to install and then OOo took over 18 hours to install ... and I'm running a 2.6G pentium so is that to be expected???
I think its on there... I find "SETUP" files ... but the website just said it would magically show up in the "Programs" of Gnome after install???
Still need your help ... it WAS installed from pre-built packages in the updated ports collection.
