Ignore the slash in the first example I think he copied the text he pasted from another location where the _ was "escaped" by the \ character. When you look in the KoboRoot.tgz file from a full upgrade, the file name is hyph_FR.dic .

The file has to be placed directly in the .kobo directory. All that is being done is that we are leveraging the Kobo update procedure to replace a file on the "hidden" side of the Kobo.

A full upgrade for Kobo includes 3 entities; the KoboRoot.tgz (which includes all the non linux kernel portions), the upgrade folder that appears to be more kernel related, and finally manifest.md5sum which is an MD5 checksum of the contents of the upgrade folder.

If only the KoboRoot.tgz is present, then it's contents are extracted and Nickel restarted. Otherwise the unit is rebooted after the upgrade folder is processed as well.

In either case, KoboRoot.tgz, the upgrade folder and the manifest.md5sum are deleted.

Now just to be safe, I have opened a bug report with the author and hope to hear back from him.
