So, I CD-d there and did a 'touch freebsd-local.sh' and it all seems happy now. Maybe I missed a step that should have put it there, and I have been negligent in pursuing OpenOffice docs, but it's working so... There was one more file that it wanted and an empty file seemed to make it happy, but I can't remember the name right now. After doing a touch on both of them, things came up and ran fine as far as I can tell. I am not a very demanding user of those kind of office packages so I may be eliminating some niceties by cheating like this that I just haven't notices. There is probably something in the docs about those files, so, if all else fails read the instructions... ////jerry > > Thanks, > Eamon
