Configure Aspell as Default for Kmail, KWord, etc..

I noticed the 5-20-03 version has Ispell as the default spelling application to use for kmail and kword (maybe others?), but it is not installed.

usually i have to do an

apt-get install iamerican

You can save all your debs in /var/cache/apt/archives whereever, for later use too. Nice to have mplayer and such this way becasue I am on dialup.

I was actually suggesting that these applications be preconfigured so that the first time user didn't have to do anything to make spell check work.

When you install a dictionary it becomes the default, so if your language is other than the configured dictionary default you have to install a new one so for most people you would be installing a dictionary anyway it just makes no sense to pre-install.
