This wiki talks about installing a package called 'Extend', but mentions it's deprecated and that you should just pull packages you need from Debian armel. I would try to do that, but I'm not sure how to pull packages from an apt repository without having an ARM install of Debian first.
Doing the USBNetwork hack seems a bit overkill when all I want is an SSH client, and no need to run an SSH server on the Kindle itself. Plus, I tried the hack the other night, and it didn't seem to take. I was just about to try again but figured I'd post here first since this seems like a pretty helpful community.
Any and all advice would be appreciated. I'm happy to have finally found this forum.
Thanks and cheers! |
Look again at the contents of the USBnetworking package.
I am pretty sure there is an ssh client included.
It may not be the OpenSSH client, it might be the Dropbear version (they are functionally equivalent, but the name is different).
Please be more specific about "Did not seem to take."

You are over thinking the means of using Debian binaries.
A *.deb package is just an ar archive, un-archive it.
When using packages.debian.org, you want to limit (or only use) the results for Jessie/ARMel, as those are the best match to your Kindle's version of Linux.
For example:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/openssh-client
Scroll down, near the bottom, pick the armel package.
And twobob has posted a script that determines any missing dependencies among the libraries already installed on the Kindle.
