It finally came through on portsnap late yesterday. The install phase still filled up my /tmp drive, so I had to umount /tmp, create a symbolic link to /usr/tmp, and then it installed OK. My usual /tmp partition has 500MB -- why does the libreoffice install require so much tmp space? OOo always installed OK. Libreoffice seems to run fine, but I haven't put it through its paces yet. As long as it basically works, I'm replacing OOo with it, if for no other reason than to elude the Eye of the Oracle. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://chipsquips.com | http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com
