As for our immediate purpose it does not matter: You can move or copy the two files. In my description I had the idea: 1) extract the whole content of the original KoboRoot.tgz (this is not economical, but easy to describe and easy to achieve with some mouse clicks), 2) edit two of its files, 3) move or copy them to a new location, 4) delete the extracted content. This would not have done any changes to your original KoboRoot.tgz.
Since you are using total commander for unpacking (and maybe loading the files to the editor), things might be a little different. Anything you do with the rcS and usb files, might effect the original KoboRoot.tgz, rather than the extracted content. I am not sure about this, since I don't use total commander myself, but if this is the case, I would rather copy the two files to the new location. In this way the now modified "original" KoboRoot.tgz would remain operational.

After rethinking it, I would change my description. 1) copy the two files from the original KoboRoot.tgz to the new location 2) modify those two files in their new location 3) pack the two folders etc and usr into a new KoboRoot.tgz.

Sorry for inconvienence.
