Following the links of the porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ page will get you here: ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/ Look in the packages-8-amd64 or -i386 folders for packages for pretty much any versions. I've been running the weeky builds of 3.3 without issue. I "think" the versions in the 3.2.1 folders are for 7.X, but I'm not 100% certain. Personally, for a desktop system I see no reason to still be running 7.X, but that's just me :) henrik -- Henrik Hudson lists@rhavenn.net ----------------------------------------- "God, root, what is difference?"
