Okay I see from the thread HERE.

There there are two main methods. One involves actually installing in /OPT, The other talks about mounting it within /mnt/us/opt please indicate which you did.

Many thanks

Code:

I figured out how to install OptWare on /mnt/us partition (in an image file):
1. Create an ext3-image file on a Linux machine (e.g. 500MB) and copy it to your Kindle /mnt/us

dd if=/dev/zero of=./local.ext3 bs=1MiB count=500
mkfs.ext3 ./local.ext3
cp local.ext3 /media/Kindle

2. Over UsbNetwork or in KiTerm: blah blah blah
