Yes I do, you're not using a procedure that works well. If you want the latest Openoffice binary package, which is 2.0.2, you trundle your web browser over to here: http://www.openoffice.org/ Click on the green box that says: "Get openoffice.org version 2.0.2" which redirects you to: http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.2/index.html. When you get to this page, you click on the box that says: "Download OpenOffice.org" which gets you to a page where you select your language, OS, and download site. If you did it correctly, that "download site" clickdown box will have "FreeBSD page" in it when selected. This will take you to another page, here you select the "Continue to Download" box which takes you to the actual site where you get to pick what you want to download. Maybe you can go straight to it by using this URL: http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ Once you get there, download the darn thing and install it using "pkg_add or using "pkg_add -v . Oh, I almost forgot, this is how you get a binary package that was built for Freebsd 5.5 or 6.1 Don
