Anyway, now that I am running the vanilla OS, I have to wait for the update to filter from amazon. I think I read about a way to download the update and install it manually, so if my kindle doesn't "find" it on it's own in an hour or two I might try that.
thanks so much for your help!

You just replaced the entire main mode file system.
Which could have caused you a lot more problems than what you had. You got lucky.
I also noticed that the people who suggested that you just copy out the missing screen savers from the image file, didn't bother to tell you how to do that or give a reference you could have learned from.
