Perfect Way to read PDF, DOC OFFLINE on Iphone

I've been searching around a lot to find a way for viewing pdf's and doc's - and .....
I got it ;)

What you need: an unlocked / jailbroken IPhone with the Installer App on it
Then it's a combination of:
on IPhone- side:
BSD - Subsystem
LightTPD
Wild Eyes! for Safari

on PC-side (my Setup was Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit):
iPhoneList (to copy the documents on the Iphone and even to make a backup of the whole iphone!!)

Here's a small guide on how to install:
make sure your IPhone has a WiFi-Connection (WLAN or Mobile Internet like Edge etc.)

then use installer app to:
Install -
Package - System => BSD Subsystem
Package - Network => LightTPD
Package - Utilities => WildEyes! for Safari from databinge

That's it on the IPhone-Side!

Then go to the IPhoneList Google Code Page and download the latest STANDALONE-Version!! (the setup.exe didn't work) - unzip the standalone version to a folder like d:\temp and then copy all the files to your c:\Program Files\IPhoneList Directory (which you have to create first) or another directory you want. Prepare a shortcut on the desktop to the iPhoneList.exe in the directory you put the extracted files.
Now make sure, that the iPhone is connected to the PC via USB you can start the application.
You should then see an AppScreen like this:
















you can then create new folders (preferably unter the " / " folder [root]) like the gefadoc in the example - then by clicking you can enter the folder and simply drag and drop doc, pdf and even xls files (see google codepage for supported formats).

Then on the IPhone use Wildfire - Application to view Docs - also works in portrait and landscape orientation.
