Thanks, I think I'll install the 10 minute one then.

In my experience, compiling it yourself is a looong process, which swallows bob loads of memory, cpu, and disk, but the results are worth it. OpenOffices' fonts (especially menus) looked so much nicer afterwards. After all, it's only time, install the -bin version to get you going (if you need), and compile over night (or 'nice -n 19 emerge openoffice', and it won't disturb you :). -- Mike Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
