Well, that explains why I was unable to remove (delete) files on the SD Card using the file manager's delete option.

Anyway, I have switched from advboot to Kobo Start Menu, as recommended by Ken. The choice was right, as it does provide some interesting customisation options apart from the usb support.

I've been trying hard to edit the "poweroff_info.html" to include a picture by using the supported "img" tag for my power off state. Perhaps, my file referencing is incorrect, or the file-type maybe.

I have "avatar.png" file in the .kobo/kbmenu/images directory and the html tag used to reference the image is:

<img src="../images/avatar.png"></img>

Anything awry?
