Device: Kobo Aura One
Hello,

I am hoping to get some help installing KSM and Koreader. I was given a Kobo Aura One for Christmas, and I've done some reading about best ways to read pdfs on the KA1. I read a lot of scientific papers, which are often pdf, so this is a functionality I require. The instructions on the thread seem very straightforward, but I am having trouble nonetheless. I can complete step 1, and have the menu pngs showing up in My Books, but then I'm lost. The only folder in my KOBOeReader device is the kbmenupngs I just put there. There is no ".kobo" folder for me to copy KoboRoot.tgz.
I tried copying in to the root and I just wind up with dozens of images in My Books and no Start Menu. Any and all help much appreciated.

EDITED TO ADD

ok, i fugured out that part of the problem is that I'm using a Mac. I have copied KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo. i also downloaded the patch and copied the file the same way. I'm now at this step:

"select (in KSM home) "handle update" > "install update" (do not select "install partial update")
wait until the device has rebooted"

when my kobo restarts I get a menu with the following options:
front light on
front light off
info
start nickel
usb
wifi
configure
tools
scripts
user scripts
reboot
power off

how do i do the update???
