@williamrochira: Don't. That never really worked well, and it's far more likely to screw up in an horrible way than anything else (it was done in the time of the Kindle touch, which happens to be a nigh-indestructible beast, software-wise). If you *really* want new stuff without the hassle of cross compiling or emulated native compiling, look at twobob & knc1's threads on how to rip stuff out of Debian armel.
The rootfs is mounted ro for very good reasons (the most prominent ones being keeping the sw safe, and that there's almost no room in there). Do not mess with it, unless you know exactly what you're doing and what that entails. The most recent 'I bricked my PW' thread was from someone who didn't think anything wrong would happen. Spoilers: it did. ;p.
