    I ran out of disk space and have now installed another drive just so I can
    run Open Office 1.1.2 under FreeBSD 5.3.

    As I understand it...the source is stored under /usr/ports/distfiles and
    the port Makefile is under /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-1.1. I'm
    designating my extra hard drive as /hd.

    How should this be accomplished so that I don't run into permission
    problems, etc., i.e. so that the installation can locate it's requirements
    as it proceeds ?

    Thank you,
    Courtney
