I also had to modify the shell script to fix the line endings (with vi on the iLiad itself) and needed to disable the automatic connectionMgr since my iLiad boots up with the ethernet already configured. It gets an IP address, but doesn't bring the wlan0 interface up and is unable to connect.

The other minor problem is that the zip files are in a format that the busybox unzip program doesn't understand. So I must unzip it on my desktop and then re-tar it over to the iliad:

Code:

 unzip iNewsStand.zip
 tar -zcf - ./iNewsStand \
   | ssh root@10.0.0.200 tar -C /mnt/free/documents -zxvf -

My only feature request at first would be to be able to sort the downloads in some fashion. I organize my /mnt/free/books directory by author so that there are not a bazillion pages to scroll through.
