Hi :) Yes, i have heard that of AbiWord before. Writer does have a lot more features.
With LinuxFromScratch you might find Slackware forums helpful as i think they are the most similar to what you are doing. There will be slight differences of course but they are probably very used to the approach and the ideal of keeping the system streamlined. Othe distros forums might have soem tips but take care as they probably don't worry about adding 'bloat'. Also the forum http://www.linuxquestions.org is good for every distro but again take care as people might not worry about adding bloat which you may not want. Good to get ideas from tho! :) I have 1 machine that has Ubuntu and doesn't yet have LibreOffice installed but it's difficult for me to get to. If i do manage it i will try to remember to get a list of dependencies for Writer alone. I have a feeling that it is going to be the entirety of LibreOffice excluding only Base and possibly Java.

I have tried abiword, but when I try to open a doc document in abiword which was created by microsoft office 2003, the file looks gibberish.In addition , all indentation, margins,tables,frames etc look out-of-place.It cannot render the file properly.Atleast openoffice or Libreoffice renders it properly.And abiword being a lightweight lacks many features than LO-writer. I am using Linux from Scratch, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org, which teaches you to build a minimalist bootable GNU/Linux system entirely from source code.from there, One can easily install any software of his choice or need and have a minimal yet very fast,efficient and functional system. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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
