I had tried several times to get Star Office operational from the ports collection, but each time with negative results. Tonight, I tried one more time, and, it worked. It obtained 3 files via ftp, they were: soa-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin 109939-02.tar.Z One connection was from australia, and one from Japan, and for one I wasn't paying attention, but it all built just like it was supposed to. Why it chose this time to work after several failures, I don't know, but I'll gladly take it. The thing is, I didn't do anything special this time that I didn't do before, I just decided to give it one more try and it worked. -- kometboy kometboy@neo.rr.com (Debian GNU/Linux) leckert@neo.rr.com (FreeBSD) http://home.neo.rr.com/leckert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
