Good news.  Is there an image I could try?  I'd like to test the RC3 
beta, but I can only do so from a CD.

You're probably correct.  Oddly, Gnumeric is sometimes more 'xls' 
compatible than OOo is, I've found.  But unless someone is 'checking' 
whether fedora represents a possible path away from Windows, 
particularly in a business environment where xls compatibility is 
pretty crucial, I wouldn't think it matters too much.

I guess I'm wondering that people use 'live spins' to 'see if 
something looks promising'.  Committed/Believing users will already 
know, and won't need a spreadsheet.

Kevin, apologies for not understanding this 'diff' report.  Does this 
mean wget will be 'in' or 'out'?  wget on a live spin is very handy, 
and can sometimes help dig you out of a hole with another 
non-functioning OS, most especially because it will restart on a 
less-than-stellar internet link..

And, thanks, by the way, for trying hard to keep FF/java on the spin. 
  Really is much appreciated.


regards, Ron
