Good advice and thanks for it :-)
There still appears to be a problem however, small though it may be.
OO.org installer is asking to be pointed at a Java environment - and to
the best of my (limited) knowledge - Java is not/may not be installed. I
don't see any mention of it (by a name that makes sense, that is) within
the ports collection.
Any suggestions??

Regards & TIA,
