To whom it may concern,

I just installed OpenOffice 1.1.3 from ports, and I have a couple comments.

First, in order for OpenOffice to build without failure, I had to 
explicitly install java/jdk14 before hand.

Second, I checked editors/openoffice-1.1/pkg-message for instructions on 
how to finish the OpenOffice install, but it was not clear if I wanted 
the "Workstation Installation" or the "Local Installation." By the 
description given in the installation dialog, I wanted the "Local 
Installation," but installing 211MB of stuff in every user's home 
directory that wants to use OpenOffice does not jive with the Unix 
paradigm, so I guessed that the "Workstation Installation" is really 
what I wanted. The "Workstation Installation" appears to have worked, 
but I thought you should add a note about this to 
editors/openoffice-1.1/pkg-message.

Thank You,

Tabor Kelly

PS- Thanks for bringing this great tool to my favorite operating system.

PSS- This is on FreeBSD 5.3R.
