Massively bloated. 22mb (compressed!) for the guts. Another 19mb (compressed!) for the fonts, libraries, docs. AbiWord is tiny in comparison. You (and anybody else) are welcome to try installing it on BL2, but there is no way will I be recommending that monster. > I may investigate the much lighter "Ted" wordprocessor > further, which seems to have alot of features Now that sounds more promising.
