Hi, Ik don't think there is an openoffice binary on the freebsd servers, not sure though. But you can pkg_add a package from good-day.net, take a look at ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/ and choose a package and then just pkg_add the package without the -r option. -- Ruud Jansen
