Abiword is used on the Live image due to space constraint.  OpenOffice.org + 
translations would cost 1.5 CDs in size.  However for the Prime spin, we'd 
rather see oo.org as the default, it is more featured.

The abiword crasher was known, but we still included it as we wanted to get a 
feel for the space and such.  At some point when abiword gets fixed (I saw a 
bunch of activity on it recently) you could do a yum update while booted to 
the LiveCD and get it to work again for that session.
