>Description:
The method given in the handbook for acquiring OpenOffice doesn't work - I guess I'm not completely sure if this is a problem with the Handbook, or the OpenOffice package maintainers, but regardless, the current documentation gives a method that doesn't work.  The specific page I am looking at is http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-productivity.html which I believe to be the current Section 6.3 of the Handbook (Desktop Applications / Productivity)
