Thank you for answering my questions.

Here are a few optimizations I suggest for your next release:

1. Edit /etc/inittab to disable all gettys on tty1-tty6 and serial getty as well.

2. Disable lpd (by "update-rc.d lpd disable")

3. Disable saned

4. Disable rpcbind

5. Disable atd

This would startup slightly faster and, more importantly, leave more memory for user apps.

UPDATE: The external keyboard doesn't work. The keyboard itself is not faulty because it works with all my Android tablets but when I plug it in to Kobo Aura HD nothing happens. Maybe I should enable something in the settings for it to recognize the keyboard.

There are no kernel messages when I plug and unplug the external keyboard, so it appears the kernel doesn't recognize this particular USB device. Or do I need to enable the host controller somehow?
