Notice there are two directories at the bottom for 8, so probably the rest are for 7.x. Haven't used these in a while so YMMV. Might also be tricky picking out the right file(s) from the clutter. The main app will be about ~147-150MB with a second language pack that is small. Don't know exactly how much the newer versions depend on Java. Used to be a lot of the filters were java based and once upon a time some time back I remember this being a source of some 'uh ohs'. ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/ -Mike
