I had come to the same decision. So I'm installing OpenOffice.org with Writer and Impress (and Draw, because Impress requires Draw to work, and OOWeb, apparently) to supply Word and PowerPoint compatibility, and Gnumeric for Excel compatibility.

Yes, I'm very pleased with Epiphany. As for the tarballs, I'm uploading the partition tarball right now. The image version will follow later tonight.

I'm not against that idea, I'm just worried that I might be excluding people who would like to use the project but who don't have that much space available on their device. Not everyone likes to install lots of stuff...

Also, my image file should have more than 14MB free. Part of that is that I've been very careful to not allow the install of anything that isn't completely necessary, and part of it is that I'm not installing Abiword (see above).

Meh, my attitude is that if it doesn't stop the install, then the errors are harmless.

Well, give it a spin first, and if it doesn't work out, then you edit the script found in /var/run/onfirstchroot.rc in your chroot and take out the sapwood line...

Hm, it probably won't affect you much anyway, because you probably don't have the Liberty theme specified in your /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0 file:

Code:

include "/usr/share/themes/liberty/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

That's another side-effect of the new Fremantle theme. Press the Esc key to close those.
