No fscking way! :) root is only needed for administration, and abiword does not require root for anything at all. The need of user root for doing anything is a misconception which in the utter limit would draw unix user/group/others permissions to a level of security the like of which could only be seen on Macs and on Windows Up To Me I think that there is a bug in the rpm spec about that, I'll look into it. Thanks for all your input Martin :) Hugs, rms -- + No matter how much you do, you never do enough -- unknown + Whatever you do will be insignificant, | but it is very important that you do it -- Ghandi + So let's do it...?
