I took the 2013-08-17_kobo_debian.img

So look at this site for info.
https://sites.google.com/site/gibekm...kobo-as-tablet

There is a link

download the 3 parts, to give you a 7.8gb image.

Installation:

1.Get empty SD card (8GB or more).
2.Download and extract image file. Flash it to SD card with Win32DiskImager (Windows) or dd (Unix).
3.Open the back cover of the Kobo. Replace original SD card with new one.

The mistake I made was when the image was installed I went into Nickle and entered my Kobo details, which ment it looked at kobo website, and updated the image and wiped the Debian part out.

Runs fine. It dual boots, only other issue I noticed is that if your in nickle and turn the unit off it boots into the dual boot again, and you have to turn it off again to get it to fully turn off.
