Hi all,
I'm a new to this forum, I've just got my iLiad v2 (2.11) a couple of weeks ago.
After installing the enabling pack from iRex, I tried to install the DJVU viewer implemented by scotty1024 and downloadable from this link:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10862

Installation was OK, but, even after rebooting, DJVU files continued not to be recognized by the contentLister. I had a look at the install.sh script and it looks like the script tries to modify - among others - the Mobipocket section of the file /mnt/settings/er_registry.txt, by adding DJVU to the list of extensions managed by Mobipocket. I installed mrxvt and used it to have a look at the er_registry.txt file and, well... THERE'S NO SUCH FILE in /mnt/settings! More, there's no er_registry.txt file in /etc either! (not in any other directory under /).
Reading various posts in this forum, I sort of realized that this file is an important system file, so much so that, if you remove it from /etc, the device gets freezed.
Could somebody help me understand what's going on? The iLiad works as expected, so maybe the er_registry.txt file has been replaced by something else. If so, how can I modify the scripts in scotty1024's package so as to reflect the change? Unfortunately, it looks like scotty1024 is no more participating actively to the forum, so I can't make this question directly to him.
Hope someone can help, I've got plenty of DJVU ebooks and it would be great to be able to open tham on the iLiad without conversion into PDF.

Thank you in advance,
bye
