    there is a version of Abiword included in the Mandrake distribution, so i
    assume you want to get a new version.

    Uninstalling the old version is strongly recommended before installing the
    new version

    Ximian redcarpet is recommended for RedHat i would be surprised if they
    did not also have Mandrake RPMs (i like Ximian).

    [Do me a favour if you are active in the mandrake community, tell them you
    want the to use the XST (formerly known as Ximian Setup Tools) they would
    make linux a whole lot easier and users dont have to learn a whole new set
    of tools if they switch distributions unfortunately vested interests
    at various distributions mean they are unlikely to be adopted (Same goes
    for RedHat) /endrant]

    or just follow the advice of this email posted to the list earlier
    this week
