Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How can I build only libreoffice-writer instead of whole officesuite ?

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.  


Regards from
Tom :)

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.
