KOffice downgrade?

It would drag in OVER 9000 extra packages that we wouldn't need/want 
otherwise. It'd probably provide about 100mb (that's about what it pulled in 
when I installed it, but that was with the clipart libraries... not sure on 
exact specs)

The problem with this is that there are users installing from the live cd to 
machines without a network connection. This leaves them wondering where the 
heck the office suite is, giving Fedora-KDE a bad image ("Wtf, doesn't even 
ship with an office suite?") and moving to Karmic or something that -does- 
have an office suite in the livecd.
