The above goes a little above my head right now. I was into linux hacking a long time ago, but most of these skills are so aged that I would not even be able to config a package anymore these days.
It would indeed also be nice to be able to plug my kindle via USB to my computer, and see the OS files on the kindle, and just edit the file in a text editor to modify the values.
I guess it won't be that simple then huh?
