install abiword without touching root filesystem
For those feeling more comfortable installing Abiword without throwing lots of files into the root filesystem the mount -o bind olddir newdir command is a good option. I have Abiword running (the run.sh script gives some errors but executing <install_dir./bin/abiword from ssh shell works fine, especially using the USB keyboard) using the following mount commands. First execute:

The nice thing about using this consturction is that the root file system is not touched and after reboot or unmount the original filesystem is unchanged. Remark: selecting some items in the menu cause abiword to crash.I will post the output later. Hope this will lower the risk of installing and using Abiword!

I unzipped abiwordcf.zip on my CF card, but, when I try to launch it, the green light blinks for a few seconds and then nothing. I'm running 2.9.5. Any idea why?

Hi AdamB
This (and gnumetric) are great ports that take the device forward and help highlight the real advantages of the Iliad as an OSS book reader with input. Are you planning on taking these apps forward and creating user friendly packages? |

I followed the instructions.
After changing encoding of run.sh of abiwordcf.zip to unix, Abiword starts. ![]() |

Here is the run.sh for abiword in the proper format if anybody needs it.
Just rename it back to run.sh from run.sh.txt as the forum would not allow the attachment without the txt extention. |

Should have used ZIP format. No need for renaming.

Sorry again. Abiword registry is also working very well. I will start fiddling with FBReader now.
By the way, I would like to know about the print command. Do they really print? That is can I connect a USB printer to ILIAD? Ooooooooh! How wonderful if that is so! |
