  4. Edit the kpg.conf file as you see fit (i.e. adjust patch_enable and/or comment or uncomment the blocks you want)
  5. Run the kpg.exe. It will generate a KoboRoot.tgz.
  6. Mount the Kobo, copy the generated KoboRoot.tgz by the .exe to the .kobo directory, unmount the kobo and let it reboot.
  7. Profit!
The first post contains different links to different versions of the patch. Each link leads to a different post in Russian. Find the version you want, click on its link, examine the Russian post, click on the link within it and you'll be taken to the download page for the zip file mentioned in the explanation above.

You can generate the needed tgz file without tweaking anything at first. All you need to do is run the exe file.
