Not removing Latex because you've got a broken IDE connector is one of the 
most brilliant idea I've seen in decades. One would be surprised by the 
amount of people owning a portable with a broken IDE connector who use Latex.

Still, as a minority, I will vote to scrap Latex. And if Kword has to be 
removed and there is 7 MB left, maybe Abiword could be added as a lightweight 
replacement?
