Have you approached Michael Burke at School of Computing, Dublin City
University, he's the person who wrote it. his website is on
http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~mburke/ 

The package that he wrote is now integrated in MS Office (see
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/ptk.aspx )

The package linked from LT Scotland
http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~mburke/speller.msi

I am not sure what you're trying to achieve with this post?

If you're interested in the Gaelic spell checker contact him directly,
asking politely to release his work under GPL or BSD licenses, so the
nice people at Openoffice/KOffice/Etc can integrate his work in free
software.

After reading the site it seems many people are taking credit for
creating the package, and it may be complicated to get who actually
owns the rights to it, but I still believe Michael Burke may be the
best starting point.

 And the second point is why does the Welsh language board get more than the
 Gaelic.

Maybe the Welsh assembly puts greater importance on Welsh than the
Scottish Executive does on Gaelic ;) 

In other news, the PAB at Nominet (the company responsible for
managing the .uk namespace) has completed the IDN workgroup the
recommendations has been passed to Nominet, so expect to be able to
register names using Gaelic letters like Môr.co.uk under .uk in the
future.

after some quick research it looks like there is a spell checker in
Scots-Gaelic

see: 
http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/suselinux/myspell-gaelic-scots.html

 myspell-gaelic-scots
Scottish Gaelic Dictionary for MySpell

The Scottish Gaelic dictionary for MySpell.
The MySpell spell-checker is used by the OpenOffice.org office suite,
the Mozilla Composer, and the Mozilla Mail message composition window.

 I am running the 64 bit club version of Mandriva 2005 LE, and when the machine
 turns off or reboots, it is shutting down the eth1 connection, totally, so as
 the light on the router goes off, and when it boots back up again then it
 opens it back up and relights. This didn't happen prior to this version.

 It means when the wife goes into windows the eth1 access has been 
 disconnected, and she cant get on the internet.

 does anyone of any easy solution to solve this? Or what would be causing it?

It sounds like a hardware or driver issue. First I'd check the
firmware on the motherboard+any controllers is the latest version,
then check the device drivers make sure they're the latest (you may
have to compile custom kernel for that).

Do the usual things, make sure the machine isn't running too hot, the
memory is ok (use www.memtest86.com)

Good luck.

 Saves you the hassle of screwing about with live viruses :-)
