3. Copy the installer folder to the root of a CF or SD card.
4. Put the card in your iLiad.
5. Navigate to it with the "Contents Lister".
6. Tap the "Install <whatever>" item that shows up in the Contents Lister.

That's all there is to it. Once you've installed it, the contents lister will show two items in place of the installer: "Run <whatever>" and "Uninstall <whatever>".

You need to request and download the shell access package from iRex first, I should add.

Hope that's of some help.
Certainly helped me Harry, and I gave myself a four!

However, if the poll had been broken down by OS, I'd have given myself:

WXP: 4
Mac OS X: 4
W Vista: 0 and hope it stays that way
Linux: 0, but maybe one day I'll see a reason to try it out.
