I have 1.1 in use now on an elderly 4.11 box that works just fine. I 
tried to load 2.x last Jan on a 7.0 box and could.t get the files to 
download from Sun/Java then. I just set up a new  FreeBSD 7.0 box to 
eventually replace the 4.11 desktop This is where I want to install the 
Open Office.
So I really dont care what the version is so long as the file names 
reflect what the freebsd install error 1 gives when it finishes its 
part. I just happened to start this ritual of installing with 1.1 to see 
if it worked. Which it did not.

I also see that IBM is releasing their version of OpenOffice as FreeWare 
for all OS'es. Is this available as a straight install on FreeBSD oe 
linux/FreeBSD as a port?

I have clients who insist using .doc files since they have M$ stuff. 
That is why I need a system that can run them  on FreeBSD. I dont do 
Windows.
