One point for the "smaller" office applications was always that there
should be a "smaller" memory footprint version of a spreadsheet or word
processor as alternative to OpenOffice as "killer app". But then,
OpenOffice 1.1.1 seems to be somewhat more memory-efficient, and the
koffice suite is not much less memory-consuming either. So, removing
koffice is probably the way to go.
Btw, would anybody miss gnumeric terribly? 40MB.
I still see no way to fit latex with 101 MB of dependencies back in into
a single-CD version. :-(
