Hello
Ive tried a few time without success to install openoffice (from pkg and 
port)... Problem is, when its building it writes lots of stuff to var/ 
which isnt huge on my system... usually around about 250MB free. It 
quickly fills this, then cant write to it anymore and eventually fails. 
So, is there any way to tell it to write to somewhere I have lots of 
space, or will this just cause other problems using it?
Thanks
Eoghan
