I'm using Kanotix Live CD and have tried to get aspell or ispell working so that Kmail will do spell checks on my email. First, I just used unionfs cheat, and each time I booted I had to apt-get install the ispell or aspell. But it worked! Then, used the unionrw=/mnt/sda1/union cheat. And then when I ran apt-get install on ispell or aspell-bin, they installed to the union /usr/bin directory. But that didn't work, because then kmail said that the path must be wrong, but it couldn't start ispell or aspell.

So then I tried to install aspell-bin and the required lib using klik. And two cmg files were created. But they don't seem to do anything and running them doesn't help, because aspell is supposed to be invoked by kmail, I guess (and not as a standalone program).


Is there a way to get kmail to use the klik version of aspell?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
