I think this probably worked, particularly if the contentlister text for the installation directory has changed - indicating success. This directory can now be deleted from the CF card.

If you look on your CF card (e.g. connect it to a Mac/PC via USB) there is probably now _local and Programs directories. The Programs directory should contain FBReader and _local should have lots of stuff in it. This includes _local/home/.FBReader, which contains the "dot" files for FBReader (which you should not need to modify in normal use).

If you add more 3rd party packages, they typically start off in Programs - which is a convenient place to look for them.

I like the old version of FBReader (0.8.4), which can be invoked by selecting CF/Programs/FBReader from the contentlister. The new version (0.8.14) can only be invoked by opening an e-book of a supported type via the contentlister. So it may be working without you knowing it.

Note that there should be an uninstal option available in CF: Programs/Uninstall/FBReader. Since you have not started using FBReader it should be ok to uninstall one version and install the other (if you want).
