I installed the image that Marek Gibek provided on the mini.
I only replaced one line with the hex editor.
I worked like a charm -- dual boot!
(linux boot) ssh and ftp did not work, however vncserver did. (on the koboreader boot, ssh and telnet were OK)

I would like to get USB host mode, so I recompiled kernel and injected it using dd if=uImage of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=2048

I even used the config.gz that Marek provided (to check)
but touchinput is not functional anymore.

Any ideas?
