Thanks for the tip, Barry. I've been running Abiword on a dual boot
Windows/Mepis Linux machine with great success. But I'm still too dumb
to see how the Abiword (and other apps) will run without touching the
hard drive when the slimmed down version I mentioned above *does* touch
the hard drive. Is the Abiword version on Puppy *not* the slimmed
version? Does running from Linux in RAM protect the hard drive from
being written to? (Forgive the newbie questions).
