This sure seems like it would be an FAQ, but I didn't
find the answer there, nor in recent posts to this list.

I have visited the FreeBSD porting status page
http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ and thence the download site
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.0.3/FreeBSD6/i386
but how do I figure out which of those 150 or so files to
retrieve, and how, exactly, do I go about installing it/them?

Based on the file names, it looks as if most of the
proliferation is around language support; so I guess
I need OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_install_en-US.tbz.
To just use OpenOffice on FreeBSD 6.1, do I also need
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_langpack_en-US.tar.bz2,
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_SDK.tar.bz2,
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_URE.tar.bz2, and/or
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_solver.tar.bz2?

There doesn't appear to be a README file in either the
download directory or the ...install...tbz file, nor did
I notice any clues on the porting page.

WRT "how to install", I know how to unpack a .tbz or .tar.bz2
file, but does it expect to be unpacked into any particular
location?  If not, is there some sort of postinstall script that
should be run, e.g. to create symlinks in a well-known location?
