Re: [libreoffice-users] How to reduce installation size?
Hi :) Dohh! Dunno why i thought 350Mb. Going back to the space limitations ... Are you sure you need all the apps? If you only ever seem to use Writer then perhaps AbiWord might be more than enough. If you only do spreadsheets then Gnumeric is sometimes even better than Calc or Excel because it's a dedicated app that doesn't have to try to fit-in with anything else. I dunno how many apps you would need before it took up as much space as the full suite. AbiWord http://www.abisource.com/download/ Gnumeric https://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/downloads.shtml However, since you are on debian it might be better to use one of your package managers. the command-line one might be something like sudo apt-get abiword gnumeric or just miss off whichever of those you don't really need. I'm not quite as keen on AbiWord because back when i used to use it i had to use File - Save As ... to get into MS formats whereas LibreOffice/OpenOffice allows you to set MS formats as their defaults. Nowadays i tend to default to ODF anyway and only do one-offs into Microsquish formats when someone grumbles about not being able to read something i've sent. Nowadays i'll do that while in the email i now grumble about how limited MS is and suggest they install LibreOffice or OpenOffice or any of the other wide variety of programs that can handle all the formats that MS can't. It's not good to set the defaults to be non-ODF so maybe it's about time i try AbiWord again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to reduce installation size?
Hi :) 350Mb is about the size of a Cd. While most such projects try to bundle a few different programs together onto a Dvd there is something to be said for trimming it down to fit on Cd.

2013/11/27 Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Hi :) 350Mb is about the size of a Cd. While most such projects try to bundle a few different programs together onto a Dvd there is something to be said for trimming it down to fit on Cd. Herm, I might be mistaken, but a CD usually have a capacity ranging from 650MB to 900MB... This doesn't change the OP requirement, but I suppose it's more than just the limitation of a CD here :) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] How to reduce installation size?
Hi, Kracked_P_P: Thanks for your suggestion, I will try it. I do have a very limited drive space. I use a 4GB CF card to install a Debian, and now I have only 500-600MB leave for install Libreoffice and other use. So I want reduce the size of Libreoffice as small as possible.
