I copied both files, restarted and the data.tar.gz dissapeared. However, no folder is created (and the screensavers remain the same). Kindle 4.0 |

Let's try again.
use the attached RUNME.sh (this time you don't need to data.tar.gz) |

Also, it seems counterintuitive to me that startup scripts would write junk to root while ro, or the script could fail and take down upstart. I suppose the safest thing to do is check for rw (like above) and only do the "mntroot rw; ... other code ...; mntroot ro" if it *was* ro to begin with.

Wow! Awesome!
Thanks guys for transforming my question into such a wonderful discussion! OK, so now we have a tested RUNME.sh (the one in post 17 by Thomass) and it does not even need the data.tar.gz to be run... So, I just copy it to the root folder, then I restart the Kindle... Then, all that's left to do is to copy the screensaver images... interesting! Pretty great! Thanks again! I'll try that immediately! |
