[Foresight-distro] Re: Abiword and/or OpenOffice.org

[Bertrand JUGLAS]

If i remember weel, Foresight had included Gnome Office before
switching to OpenOffice because OpenOffice is still more used than
Gnome Office.
But a version of Foresight restricted to only Gnome tools could be a
good idea to restricted install media to only 1 CD.
Now the Epihany bug is solved, i try to use more Epiphany than Firefox.
I will try to install Abiword and Gnumeric to try them instead of
OpenOffice but for office documents i need the best converting filters
because all my coworkers work with MS Office 2003 or 2007.
To provide another solution for the unique CD install media i'm
updating my public http server with Foresight 1.0 changesets to be
able to install by PXE or downloading and burning only the minimal
boot CD. I will post the howto on the Tutorials section of the
Foresight forum.
