Based on a quick check on my Debian system, I *think* the packages
needed may be aspell-en and/or myspell-en-us (for US English spellchecking).

So, one way to install them would be to run the following as root in a
terminal window:
    apt-get update
    apt-get install aspell-en myspell-en-us

(Note: this works in Debian. I'm assuming it would work in Feather Linux
too.)

If you want a fairly nice GUI for installing software in Debian, try
using Synaptic:
   apt-get install synaptic

Hope that helps!
