thanks for your reply. i was rummaging around at good-day.net when your 
message came in. earlier, the results of 

pkg_add -r openoffice.org

...had seemed more productive, initially:

OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 will soon been installed in
/usr/local/openoffice.org-1.1.5

... until, like arthur dent registering the yellow bulldozer, i registered that i wanted openoffice v2.0!

i'm a bit concerned that i've mis-configured my system, and don't have enough room for 
the jdk component, never mind the openoffice. i recall the jdk port install was non-trivial. 

here is df -h:

Filesystem                Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a               3.9G    3.6G    4.7M   100%    /
devfs                     1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/ad0s1d                30G    107M     28G     0%    /home
linprocfs                 4.0K    4.0K      0B   100%    /usr/compat/linux/proc
devfs                     1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/named/dev

ugly isn't it? 

i'm not totally useless. i can be used as a bad example.
