Hello Ray, The Mac porting pages don't ask you to install OS X 11 (which doesn't exist), but rather that you need the windowing utility X11 in order to run OpenOffice.org on your Mac. There are different versions of OOo for Intel and PowerPC Macs. OOo will run on Panther (OS X 10.3.x), Tiger (10.4.x) and Leopard (10.5.x) (there's a 'legacy' version that will run on Jaguar). Please read the How-To's on the Mac porting pages before installing 'just like that': http://porting.openoffice.org/mac HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo 2.3 RC 3 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
