You have no idea what you are talking about. You are right in one thing, this is the COOKER list and yes, I DID MEAN TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS. This is a support listfor Cooker issues. If a cooker package cannot be installed - whether in contribs or main, Mandrake need to know about it, period.

Oh, that's a great attitude. Reporting packaging bugs is now BITCHING?? Get a life I may not need it that badly but others might. If Mandrake don't want to ensure it will install and run, why have it in the distro at all?? Charles A Edwards wrote: On Tue, 17 Dec 2002 08:03:13 +1300

Now that is a good response. A respectful one. That makes sense to me and if Mandrake would have said this then I, and everyone else, would know what was going on. Thank you David, much appreciated. David Walser wrote: AbiWord was moved to Contrib some time ago because of font problems.

It is quicker to load, lighter in weight, and more similar to MS Word for those who have just migrated. It is also MUCH LESS resource hungry for lower powered (or lower disk space) machines. There are other reasons as well but they escape me right now. Cheers Jason PS, isn't OSS all about
