Here is a quick overview of installing AbiWord with the pkg-installer and what you have downloaded. If you have installed patch A then you should be able to point the package installer (pkg-installer) directly at the qpr file that you have downloaded: % pkg-installer -u file:///where/your/qpr/file/lives If you have not installed patch A then you should be able to extract the files manually into it's own repository: 1) Make a temporary repository directory % mkdir /tmp/repository 2) Change to this temporary repository and untar the qpr file into it. % cd /tmp/repository % tar -zxvf /where/your/qpr/file/lives 3) Start the package installer and point it at this repository location. % pkg-installer -u file:///tmp/repository 4) You should now see this new repository show up in your listing of repositories. Double click to enter this new repository. 5) If all goes well you should be able to select Public Software -> Editors -> AbiSuite And press install to have it whirr a little, install the software and BOOM! You now have AbiWord. Comments? Questions? Bugs? www.abiword.com thomasf@qnx.com Thanks
