Sorry for double post - can't edit and I think this one it's kind'a weard.
Since I finished with my old kindle (except screen wich should be fixed next week sometimes) ... I started work on my new one that arived today as I said.
Moved all the books on it ... transfered books from my amazon account on it ... and so on.
I was prepared to start rooting this new device ... when I find ON the NEW kindle ... a file called: " all_logs_as_of_Wed_Jun_01_2011_00_22_50.tar.gz " in the root of the "usb storage".
I tar -xvzf that ... and surprise... there are logs starting 1 jun 2011 ... syslog, wtmp, connection logs ... and so on (basicaly all /var/log). All the files have the correct permissions, and creation date 01 Jun 2011.
How come ? This is a "refurbished" device and they "forgot" the logs on it ?? and if so WHY ? Why do they archive the logs ? I really can't figure this out (just out of curiosity). The device looks really brand new ...
Also ... can't be logs from my old device - somehow sent to my new one via whispernet since ... on my old device /var/log/messages for example ... it's hardlinked to /dev/null
... so no logs.
Also I didn't own (or activate) the old device in June 2011. I bought the first one in ... november or so.
Weard ... really weard. I am rooting now ... maybe they "forgot" something interesting on it somewhere ...
