No.  It was a problem with the 20mb fs.img.
Installations to HD do not have that problem.

That's just to remind users that AbiWord doesn't
work with earlier versions of BL3.

As I've said before, basiclinux.com.ru is significantly 
faster for me.

There's very little clipart (just a token amount
to show users how to use that feature).  The font
files are certainly big and I suppose you could
remove all except one.  However, I don't know how
that will affect the ability of AbiWord to handle
MSWord documents.  I was careful to leave the font
structure the same (although I did reduce the size
by about a quarter) to insure AbiWord will still 
do a good job of displaying .doc files.

Cheers,
Steven
