fbsd and ooffice
yesterday i tried to install openoffice on my lappi. but using ports to do this would take years on that machine. with no real up-to-date binary packages for fbsd around i tried it this way:
%> fetch "url_to_binary_openoffice_for_linux"
%> tar xvfz "name_of_downloaded_file"
%> cd "extracted_path"/RPMS/
%> for i in *.rpm; do rpm2cpio $i | cpio -di ; done
%> sudo mv opt /usr/local/
and done. works. of coz you need linux-binary-compat installed. and rpm2cpio. and cpio. and you have to make some symlinks to soffice, scalc, swriter, simpress, sdraw etc in /usr/local/bin. but it works :)
