Actually, reading your comment, I've realized that after so much time
without using OOo (about three years. I've been able to live with just
TeX and Inkscape and occasional abiword or gnumeric usage) I've totally
forgot that Impress is for creating presentations, not for drawing... So
disregard my comment... But having the whole OOo would make better sense
-- if I haven't missed something, we don't even have abiword there,
which means we completely miss word processor on the spin...

As far as space goes, something up to 1GB (not 1GiB!) would be perhaps
best -- CD is too small and 1GB USB flash is the first bigger than that.
Also I heard than lzma compression will be used in the future for
compressing the spins, so we might actually gain some more free space.
