search the packages.debian.org site for whatever the name of this fuze-zip package is, find a pre-built binary.

(Most of the Kindle's system looks like it is from Debian, not hand built by lab126).
I'll take a look tomorrow! Thanks again Knc1!!

The underlying kindle filesystem is writable, but the "base-" mounts still have restricted privileges.

So, out of curiousity, why did you choose the longer "base-" mount name when they gave you two options, and most examples (including the startup scripts) only use /mnt/us/ ?
If you want to know, I'll explain: simply, I didn't know there was such a difference between /mnt/us and /mnt/base-us...
And this is the first time I face a problem using base-us so using base-us wasn't a problem for me!
