I've used Mozilla on and off through=20 various versions and it works. I installed OpenOffice yesterday=20 but haven't had time to actually try to use it. You should just install them from the ports instead of trying to use=20 the raw Linux versions. =20 /usr/ports/www/linux-mozilla or /usr/ports/www/mozilla and /usr/ports/editors/openoffice =20 If you aren't familar with the ports system, read "man ports", but=20 to get you started: cd /usr/ports/www/linux-mozilla && make install && make clean=20 is one way to do it. > Any ideas would be nice here, too. Thanks OpenOffice requires that you install linux-jdk and the FBSD native=20 jdk, which each require a manual download from Sun. So don't=20 do what I did and leave the build running unattended for several=20 hours and expect it to be done when you come back! I think you need to use the Linux version of Mozilla if you want to=20 be able to use Linux Netscape plugins with it. There aren't many=20 FreeBSD plugins available. - Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
