It's very nice isn't it. The Gentoo Desktop developers are great and |

mighty. |

I would recommend just downloading the latest linux binaries for now. |
15 |
The openoffice setup program doesn't lend itself to easy scripted |
16 |
installs and the compile will take you ~24 hours (on a fast machine). |
17 |
This is the one application that comes close to bringing Gentoo to its |
18 |
knees |

Here's how I installed it. |
21 |
|
22 |
First, emerge the latest dev-java/blackdown-{jdk,jre} OpenOffice should |
23 |
automagically detect the blackdown java during setup. |
24 |
|
25 |
Then, unpack the openoffice binary tarball somewhere convenient, and |
26 |
|
27 |
cd <somewhere_convenient>/install |
28 |
|
29 |
As root run, |
30 |
|
31 |
./setup /net |
32 |
|
33 |
I would recommend installing to /opt/OpenOffice641 |
34 |
|
35 |
Then as user, run |
36 |
|
37 |
/opt/OpenOffice641/setup |
38 |
|
39 |
choose the smaller install. |
40 |
|
41 |
|
42 |
Doing the initial setup with the "/net", flag will install the bulk of |
43 |
openoffice in /opt. You can then choose the minimal install for each |
44 |
user who needs openoffice on the local machine or over your lan. You |
45 |
could also skip the "/net" flag, but then you would install a full blown |
46 |
oppenoffice for each user. |

Hope that helps |
