Hello,

I am a newbie and would immeasurably benefit from your advice.

I have recently upgraded to v2.12 firmware on my iliad and have been fiddling quite a bit with it. I have miraculously managed to get "shell access", use the file manager, a couple of games and so on. These are super terrific!!! Thanks to all those who have made is available -- very much appreciate it.

My most urgent need is to be able to underline or highlight text in pdf files sitting on CF card and then save those. But I think I have a basic misunderstanding of the installation procedures of pdf and other readers.

I would be very very grateful for any form of advice!!!!

1) What does the last among the below set of instructions mean? "Run FBReader from the Programs directory on your CF card". I have no Programs directory on my CF card. Do I create one?

*************
So, to install.
* Download the attached fbreaderinst-0.10.7-07.zip file
* unzip it, and copy the fbreaderinst-0.10.7 directory to your CF card
* load up the CF card in your iliad, and click on the Install FBReader Standalone item.
* Run FBReader from the Programs directory on your CF card.
*************


2) I have a problem with Beaver as well. When I open the file "fluxbox_....png" I do see a screen with some type of "c" program in it and a Table of Contents in the background. I can scribble on it but when I exit the Beaver, nothing is saved. Am I not supposed to see a blank screen on which to scribble or type text.?

3) I also tried to install abiword but I recall it is available only for v2.11 firmware. So I suppose that even if I have copied it it to my CF, I will not be able to install it? Am I correct?

Thanks very much,
