There should be one either mentioned in a post or attached to a post in the thread(s) on that subject.

BUT: - you will not be able to update it on your Kindle, not enough free ram (and no swap running).

So get a Linux LiveCD in which to do your work, both the initial creation and the maintenance. Pick one that allows you to write to external storage (such as USB stick). Called: File Persistence in the world of LiveCDs.

On the menu for today, your choice of 312 flavors:

Try Knoppix - its a good choice for Linux Newbees:

Also very easy to transfer to a USB stick, once you boot from it.
