Hi TechniSol,

Thanks for your reply, I did try all the steps you described but still no tools menu and that damn footer is still annoying me. Did you make a kobotweaks.ini yourself too? I feel like I am missing something here, I do have telnet access, did the tgz thing, and added an ini file. Also installed pbchess-1.2.5 which I can activate via telnet (I just start up the .sh file and the menu shows up on my Glo), but I can not activate PBchess "stand alone" on my Glo (I can't see it in the menu on the reader, even after opening and closing the library).

As for documenting stuff, I am a network admin myself, and documenting is something I always promise to do, but end up not doing most of the time. I think there's a gene that prevents techies from writing stuff down in a proper way

I appreciate all the people making hacks like this, and getting it to work is half the fun (the fun part is when it finally works, and I feel a bit like a hacker myself
