The problem is that the system I'm building on is in the institute and I'm
presently writing my thesis at home and I'm refusing to use my home system
for such a long compile time (my temperature controlled fans will begin to
make too much noise) ;)
Additionally the build system is ro-mounted nfs-diskless, the build itself is
in a nfs sid-chroot - installation is only possible to local tmp-disk
storage. Lets see how well openoffice behaves with this installation. I will
be in the institute tomorrow, but I don't know yet, if I will have time to
care about this.

Ok, before I wanted to spend further (in principle not available) spare time
on any of those two possibilities, I first wanted to know which solution you
prefer :)
Cheers,
