David and Peter,

Any luck on getting things either the application or modules installed?

David, if you simple try multiple times, the installer should eventually
download your modules.  Again, this is a bug and needs to be fixed.
Also, you can simply download the KJV.zip file from here:

http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/packages/rawzip/KJV.zip

and unzip under a folder 'sword' at the root of your SD card.

Peter, can you give me an idea of where it is failing, since it doesn't
give you any useful information?  Have you downloaded the APK?  Does it
show up in your alerts as finished downloading?  Can you then click to
start the install?  Do you have "Settings|Applications|Unknown sources"
checked?

I'll be around #sword if anyone wants to work together on this.


Troy
