The good book (dagger) and ZBedic

The good book
I though installing dagger and the sword engine to study the bible a little bit... but The "uninterruptible sleep" probelm appeared again...

Install dagger & sword:

# ipkg install -d loop0 dagger sword
# ipkg-link add dagger; ipkg-link add sword-dev; ipkg-link add sword
No problem starting dagger the first time, then I change the path to the books to ~/Documents/books/sword/, restart dagger (as requested) - then dagger goes into coma. I think it has something to do with the loop0 because I see [loop0] entry in ps which is also in D state. Maybe the problem appears because I'm using fat fs for the SD card... I tried installing dagger to the internal memory - that didn't help so eventually I removed the whole thing.

ZBedic - the electronic dictionary
Installing zbedic:
# ipkg install -d loop0 zbedic
# ipkg-link add zbedic; ipkg-link add libsqlite3-0
Now a dictionary is required. At the zbedic homepage I found WordNet 1.6. Just put it somewhere and direct zbedic to it (int the configure menu).

zbedic can be connected to opie-reader. From the zbedic documentation: In opie-reader settings, under the Locale tab enter 'zbedic' as Application and 'find' under Message. In the Misc tab under 'Select Action' check Dictionary.
