Hi! I'm a StarOffice-52 user, and I've been watching progress on the openoffice port, waiting to try it. It seems that it is no longer marked as BROKEN, but something is still preventing me from trying it. There is a NOTICE that appears upon starting the installation that says that I'd need plenty of disk space to build it (4 GB). Is this real? Currently I've a 5 GB partition for /usr, and use never got over 75%, even with lots of downloaded stuff in /usr/ports/distfiles. Now with a fresh install, I'm using 1.5 GB and have nearly 3 GB free. This includes all the FreeBSD sources, which I keep updated and the remnants of my last buildworld + buildkernel (which I didn't 'make clean' yet). Is it possible that builduing an office suite consumes far more resources that a full blown OS? I'm just intrigued :| Fernan -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-openoffice" in the body of the message
