The better alternative (IMHO) is to get an openoffice-bin (from portage) or directly from the OO site. There has been a lot of noise about compiled versions of OO being faster, but I've not experienced much difference on newer versions. The OO 1.1 binary release comes up in about 8 seconds (or 3 seconds when reloaded) on my AthlonXP 1800 (512Meg), practically the same as when I used the compiled version. Of course, if you really have many hours and 5gig work space worth of patience, have at it. Whatever version you get, there is still a few bugs. For example, when I try to insert a special symbol, OO craps out. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
