Hi,
Tks for your advice.
I am aware of "make install 'packagename'' on /usr/ports/. Because I am=20
running FreeBSD 5.2 on a slow PC I tried avoiding installing OOo from sourc=
e=20
code. It will take lengthy time to go through compile, make, make install,=
=20
etc. I have experience on Gentoo running installation from source code. O=
n=20
a slow PC it would be much earier to install OOo1.1 from its tarball. For=
=20
the small program 'midnight commander', it took 30 minutes to complete bein=
g=20
an example
This is my 1st time installing/running UNIX. I don't have much confidence =
on=20
myself even though this is not my first time installing OOo from tarball no=
r=20
my first time using tar command. I have no idea whether there are diferenc=
e=20
opertaing them between UNIX and Linux. Therefore I start to post.
Anyway thanks again for your advice.
B.R.
