Robert: Ted-GTK is still quite large, ted-common is 1380kb.

I am not having very good luck with FLWRITER. It is OK if you are an island! But really, we all have to deal with M$ And Rich Text Format (RTF) is well supported by all M$ and others.
I unfortunately have to work with M$ excel & Word docs with reasonably heavy formatting. So I installed OpenOffice 1.1 on my dsl 0.4.10 hd-install box. It works seamlessly. Woohoo !!!yay!But you can't take it with you!!! (Your hard drive installed system) Can't fit the thing in any pockets that I have.
I know I could take a full KNOPPIX CD and then take a nap while it boots and loads OO. Plus the dang thing still does not fit in my pocket protector. I remastered DSL with TED just barely fits 50M (business card CD) I can take it with me. And it is fast.
DSL the pocket desktop appliance!I've been digging through the files and looking at options. A good chunk of the size in Ted is the incorporated spell check. If I removed FLWriter, ispell and and iamerican (ispell's US spelling DB), and put in their place Ted-gtk it would be close to a wash regarding file size.Next Page...
