Thanks! Yes, I already had erinye in my catalogs, but Abiword 2.2.7 wasn't showing up in the installable apps list. I found that I had to disable the abisource catalog - then 2.2.7 showed up and I was able to install it. I also re-installed more-gconv-modules, and it now seems to work. I was able to load a Word doc and do at least basic editing (which is all I need for now).

Great, thanks very much.

I hope/wish they would get this stuff more intuitive in the future, all this messing around with different repositories and "red pill" mode is kind of silly (and I have been working with Linux for eight years now, so I'm well used to that kind of silliness)... most people buying a PDA like this probably will be in for a shock when they realize what kind of messing around is required to get basic stuff like this to work. Seems typical of Linux - the great bulk of the work is done and the thing is mostly working... but you still need to do that stupid secret incantation thing to get it to actually work. They do all this work to port the apps, why can't it be more intuitive to install???

Anyway, thanks again.
