Thank You! Will take it's time.

But one question before to start, I think the answer can be very short:

How do I make a script(file) and start it?

I guess making a new file (ending -sh I presume) and putting it somewhere?
Calling the scriptfile over the searching-entry on the reader? Or do I have to install a terminal-hack or something else?
In short:

How do I call a script on a kindle?
Edit: solved (using kterm now). Calling the script: go to the right folder with Kterm, type: ./NameOfScript
Greetings

Edit:
Script is on the way.

Next problem:

I am not able to copy files lager than 50MB onto the reader!
Edit: solved: several folders allow plenty of new files. For example:
- /opt/
- /opt/amazon/ (seems to be a good place to store the image-file)
- /dev/
- /dev/loop/ (be carefull, files will be deleted after reboot)

As mentioned above - this gets really frustrating.

I do file transfer with MAC an the APP called Transfer mentioned by the OP in the first post. Works well so far until now. But each file larger than 50MB in every writeable folder on the reader is rejected by interrupting the copy-process. Any idea?

Would it work to copy the file onto /mnt/us/? 50 MB is no Problem there of course.

Edit: still unclear
