OpenOffice "install" question

To whom it may concern,
I just installed OpenOffice 1.1.3 from ports, and I have a couple comments.
First, in order for OpenOffice to build without failure, I had to
explicitly install java/jdk14 before hand.
Second, I checked editors/openoffice-1.1/pkg-message for instructions on
how to finish the OpenOffice install, but it was not clear if I wanted
the "Workstation Installation" or the "Local Installation." By the
description given in the installation dialog, I wanted the "Local
Installation," but installing 211MB of stuff in every user's home
directory that wants to use OpenOffice does not jive with the Unix
paradigm, so I guessed that the "Workstation Installation" is really
what I wanted. The "Workstation Installation" appears to have worked,
but I thought you should add a note about this to
editors/openoffice-1.1/pkg-message.
Thank You,
Tabor Kelly
