I don't quite get how the bootloader even works, it looks like option 3 boots into USBnet mode + telnet server? Looks like it, they also provide usb net driver in their install package:
echo "sub Lan"
mntroot rw
rmmod g_file_storage
rmmod g_ether
modprobe g_ether
ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.88
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 > /etc/resolv.d/resolv.conf.default
echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >> /etc/resolv.d/resolv.conf.default
cp /etc/resolv.d/resolv.conf.default /var/run/resolv.conf
/mnt/us/DK_System/bin/busybox telnetd
display_logo_screen
mntroot ro

-------- It is for the stores, and we may perhaps come up with some modification ourselves ?
It does a check for mv /etc/rc5.d/S96rundk /etc/rc5.d/s96rundk constantly, I assume it's because the partition is fat32 and it has to make sure it's lowercase, and they copied it over directly rather than extracting it from a tarball.
--------- They have updates which would remove old stuff, install new, and their focus were for their own books, not Amazon - perhaps they did not think to much about uninstall ?
dkswitchmenu.bin seems to take the input for the 3 menu choices?
dkswitch.bin seems to boot into the os
Yes, in settings you can choose to have it boot up the last system it used - it will timeout and boot the 3rd option without intervention. I think it is very nice.
From reading the scripts, here are the files it appears to install:
(these are generated + removed by install.sh)
/etc/rcS.d/S79switch
/etc/rc5.d/s96rundk
/etc/rc5.d/S96rundk
/etc/rc5.d/rundk.sh
/dev/DK_Debug.log
--------------- yes, I don't see anything that is not normal on a multiuser, but wonder if
Amazon's could use runlevel 3 ?
(debug log is probably not even created I think debugging is disabled, should see file in DK_SYSTEM folder cat /dev/DK_Debug.log >> /mnt/us/DK_System/DK_Debug.log)
---------------- yes...
It removes these 2 files all on its own for some reason, since they are in /dev i assume they are also generated by it because usually stuff should not be in /dev:
/dev/viewinfodat.txt
/dev/viewinfodat1.txt
----------------- the TTS system comes from Microsoft, and is proprietary. May explain something.
What is the kindle's normal rc script?
What happens if these 4 are simply removed?
------------------ First one, - I don't know. Second one - I believe nothing. There are some check of a file in /mnt/us/DK_system...... that it exist and that it has not changed size, else it will not run, and it will bootup Amazon. There need to be input and output for those 4 startup scripts. I don't seek any harm. But I do expect they will supply an uninstall script.
That was very good curstpriest !
Thank you !
ha, so you do have some of that powder that makes things light up ?
