I know all this is free, and represents a lot of hard work which you then gave to us in exchange for bugger all, an that's impressive. Thank you. I think it would have been really helpful if your Wiki said exactly that the diag USBnet should not be tried.

But anyway, now I know the diag SSHD is not to be trusted and I should install the "USBNet package".

So I click that link, and I'm in the "giant thread".

It mentions Jailbreak, but I assume I don't need to re-install it. Or is it a different Jailbreak? I'll assume not.

Spoiler: [SHOW] (Why does this forum do this SPOLIER shit? I'm guessing to force people to join in order to see the details)

Anyway, it says "Note for Kindle 4 users " (that's me) "use the Wiki instead". OK, well I just came from there, so this re-enforces the notion that the Jailbreak I already have is OK. But does that "use the Wiki instead" pertain only to Jailbreak? I'll assume so.

So reading on.... fonts (don't care) ... screen savers (don't care) ...

Eh? Where's the thing that I have to do to install the USBnet package?

I'm guessing it's in the list of attached files. I can see a File Type: zip kindle-usbnetwork-0.57.N-k4.zip. But if it is (and it's an IF I'm unwilling to try in case it bricks my Kindle) then what do I do after unzipping it?

Well, I'll download it and unzip it, and maybe there's a readme inside.

There is! Oh, but it's a plain text copy of this thread. Great.
But wait (there's more) - there's a read me first. Aha - this is the stuff I need....

Oh - heh - get this: "Windows people you're on your own".

Gee - thanks! How nice to work so hard to get here to then be told this.

What a complete waste of my waste of time.

NiLuJe I'm sure this post will irk you. I'm a non-Unix moron with an entitlement mentality, no doubt. But perhaps you might see how - if you wanted to - you could make this easier for people who aren't you to use.

OK, bring it.
