From another email sent to this list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris, I have a Mac Mini, and before you can use OOo, you need to install the X11 package. For me, this came on Disc 1 of my two system discs. I found the X11*User* package in the following location: /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/X11User.pkg There is another X11 package, but it is *not* the one you want. It's a developer's package, I think.
