hello all.
Trying to install OO.Org through ports but it wants me to accept licence agreement on a web browser. Dont get me wrong here; I dont want anyone doing the thinking for me, but since its my first time doing it this way i have a hard time visualizing how accepting the license agreement on a web browser enables the rest of the port installation to proceed. is it actually that the port is Bs'ing me and that i actually need to download the source and compile my self? I've just spent the last 24+ hours waiting for gnome2 to compile and am unsure how to install openoffice.

Openoffice takes a long time to compile and requires lots of disk space. I use the prebuilt packages from good-day.net. You can download a *.tbz with the language of your choice from here and install it using pkg_add.

so to answer my own question. the port install wasnt "bs'ing me. it was a simple matter of going to the link that the install process provides and clicking on accept. this intern causes a file to download. put this file in the distfile directory. redazz, spot on.,, it took just as long as gnome2 to compile but in the end worked just fine. since then ive wiped and reinstalled freebsd like three times over. i havent tried redazz' way but when i do i will give feedback.
