DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: DSL Revisted?

Siag is actually a very light office suite:

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....ice.dsl

and it is only 4 MB without doing some needed stripping (eliminate the text editor, file manager and animator).

So if desired, you could use it to replace both ABS & TED with Siag spreadsheet and Pathetic Writer word processor.

It also has the side benefit of OK (not great) MS Excel and Word compatibility and runs great on older computers.

The downside is that it will still most likely take up more disk space than TED + ABS so it would result in other applications being removed from the distro.

Which is why you should download and try out the extension instead of wait for it to be included into the base distro.

It is also possible that a newer version of ABS has improved stability. Of course it would also probably be a large program size.

hmm, i might have to try it.

Is the siag filemanager functional enough to replace emelfm? I love emelfm, so don't think I'm actively looking to replace it.

and the animater could replace xpaint.

but I'm reluctant to even think about dumping Ted. Best. Light-weight wordprocessor. Evar.

the cool thing about pwriter and the spreadsheet is that you can save as pdf!

I'm with Chris on this.

Siag is a great little app.
OO was just too big & slow on my geriatric machine (32mb ram)

Anything to get rid of that awful Ted

downloading the dsl file to see if i can strip it down a bit.
