Launching a shell script without the shell extension properly installed should give you one green blink of the LED and no delay (same as launching a word file, or anything that the iLiad doesn't support).

In order to debug your problem, you probably have to install dropbear and launch FBReader using SSH, then you get the error messages. Or perhaps you can launch FBReader from the terminal. This can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with Linux.
Hmm, not only am I unfamiliar with Linux, I don't have access to a Linux machine. I guess I'll just wait for a complete download from iRex (hint, hint).

I don't get a green blink. Nada, zilch, zip (or, for the UK crowd, nil).
