Yep, that has given me something to work with

It's complaining that it can't load the images from the zip file, and from looking it up on the web, it may be because the python-imaging library hasn't been compiled with zip support.

Download and install this and see if that helps.

You can just save it wherever and open with application manager. Should hopefully do the trick.

P.S. You shouldn't need to sudo gainroot in order to run python /usr/bin/comix from terminal.

We can do it the terminal way then.
Code:
sudo gainroot
cd (to wherever you saved the file to)
dpkg -i python2.5-imaging-1.1.6-1osso3.deb
I'll need to repackage it at some point to make it work easier with application manager.

If you mean the place that shows up as your tablet's name when you're looking in filemanager that's under MyDocs.

So in fact, you could just do:
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i MyDocs/python2.5-imaging-1.1.6-1osso3.deb
It is case sensitive, but you can make it a bit easier on yourself by hitting tab.
E.g. type the capital M in MyDocs and then press tab, and py, then press tab and it will likely autocomplete.
