I tried to load 2.x last Jan on a 7.0 box and could.t get the files to download from Sun/Java then. I just set up a new FreeBSD 7.0 box to eventually replace the 4.11 desktop This is where I want to install the Open Office. So I really dont care what the version is so long as the file names reflect what the freebsd install error 1 gives when it finishes its part. I just happened to start this ritual of installing with 1.1 to see if it worked. Which it did not. I also see that IBM is releasing their version of OpenOffice as FreeWare for all OS'es. Is this available as a straight install on FreeBSD oe linux/FreeBSD as a port? I have clients who insist using .doc files since they have M$ stuff. That is why I need a system that can run them on FreeBSD. I dont do Windows. -- ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + noc@hdk5.net + + http://internetohana.org - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* + "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
