39 | The <filename>openoffice-&openoffice-version;-no-pam.patch</filename> is needed only if

40 | Linux PAM is not installed. The <filename>openoffice-&openoffice-version;-no-mozab.patch</filename>
|

41 | disables building of <application>Mozilla</application> Addressbook which causes build problems since OpenOffice
|

42 | includes precompiled <application>Mozilla</application> libraries that

43 | are incompatible with <acronym>LFS</acronym>. The
