I will try doc2png when I have a ppt file (I can try downloading one to 
sdf, where I also compiled doc2png for NetBSD).

OpenOffice 2.0 requires 300MB disk space, 1.0 'only' 250MB, with 64MB RAM 
and 2.2.13 kernel, glibc 2.1.3.  Almost usable for the BL2 basic computer 
if you add RAM and hard disk.  I don't want to add 300MB of mostly useless 
files to convert ppt to something readable.
