25 for openoffice you might want to try the experimental ebuilds from the
26 personal overlay of diego peteno from flameeyes-overlay. it seems that he's
27 trying to remove internal support for apps that have been already installed
28 from openoffice. this is still in a hardmasked and so very experimental
29 stage but whoever compiles openoffice might want to give it a shot. compile
30 the binpkg with portage before trying it so that, if something goes wrong
31 you wouldn't have to pass another night for it to compile again and you'd
32 just need to reinstall the stuff.
33 thanks for the help.
