Ok, I mounted the recovery partition. For what I see, among other things, "recovery" rcS overwrites the "normal" partition, using an image stored on the recovery partition.

About firmware upgrading: overwriting the "normal" partition with an image file, or extracting KoboRoot.tgz to the root is exactly the same thing in theory. So why firmware packages contains KoboRoot.tgz AND image files?

I suspect image files is the upgrade method of Mini, Touch and Aura HD. On the contrary, file coping is the Glo and Aura method. What a mess. EDIT: just wrong

Can you link me the multi-touch kernel installer?
