1. I have the installation CD, but not on me. All I need is a package. Where can I get one?
If you need something off of the CD, you can grab the base install packages from core and opt (provided by Matt Housh) or core and opt (provided by Tilman Sauerbeck). Either should work
2. X [ xorg ] dies when I open openoffice.
If you are using the binary NVidia driver (opt/nvidia) for xorg, keep in mind to run the gl-select tool after installation to set up your OpenGL environment, as pointed out in the README file. X dying like this happens not only with openoffice but most of the glx stuff such as childsplay, showfont etc.
3. My system clock is way off.
- Use openntpd. A port for the latest version can be found in either the cc repository (rsync) or the yenjie repository (git/httpup).
- Chrony (opt/chrony) is NTP client daemon and NTP server, which has been specifically written to work well if you have an intermittent connection to the network where your NTP servers are, and it still works well in a "permanently connected" mode.
