This is an unfortunate situation. Someone has mentioned that openoffice can be installed via packages. Do a quick search through the archives and you should find out how to do that. If you have another hard disk laying around, you could put that in the system and symlink (or reinstall) to it. Sorry I don't have a better solution. Installing your software (the large ones) as packages may get around this problem, or someone else may have a decent solution for this problem. Steve
