Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice.org

I do not know, why you have installed gentoo linux, but it seems
it was a missunderstanding ...this distribution is definitely
NOT recommended for absolute beginers.

Hi,
I started merging openoffice and it´s really
     

taking
   

it´s time [about 5 hours] and it´s not yet done.
     

My
   

question is why can´t I go to openoffice.org and
download the tar ball and install it from there,
     

it
   

would have take no more than 10 minuts I believe.
     

Is
   

it better to merge packages than to download and
install them manually? Why does it take longer to
merge a package then to insall it from source
     

(e.g.
   

openoffice)? 
     

emerge openoffice-bin
   

OK, thanks, but can you please explain what´s
happening, what´s the difference between emerge
openoffice-bin and emerge openoffice, does other
packages have ¨-bin¨?
