Hi Marc!

      I guess I'm only an intermediate Linux user, but I really liked
using Slackware. I also really like AbiWord and Gnumeric. I'm back to
FC6 for a variety of reasons, including Abiword and Gnumeric. Next week
my old pc is coming home from the repair shop ( if the guy can fix it)
and I really want to be clear about this..

  In Slackware 12, I only need to manually add two dependencies to have
Abiword work correctly?

  I've read all this stuff online about "no more Gnome libraries,"etc.
and it sort of shoo'ed me away from SW12. This is good news.

Thanks,
-Joe G.
