[NB: I am not subscribed to the list; please Cc: me on the reply] I want to take a look at Open Office, and want to build from source. I believe I understand that this is a rather adventurous undertaking; requiring Gigabytes of space and copious amounts of time. I also note that there are download and license issues with one of the java-related bits....something about a manual fetch of the development kit, from what little I have read? My other question has to do with gotchas, or tips; are there any common things a first-time builder might want to know? Or does the build from source just work? I have nearly 5 Gig in /var/ and ~26-27 Gig in /usr, with 1 Gig of RAM and plenty of time; I don't think the build will encounter issues there. Thank you, and best regards, Joe Altman -- My eyes want to sleep; but the skull is no pillow.
