On a Mac when you double click a zip, there is a built in unarchiver. It isn’t like on windows where you have to download winzip and winrar.
I do have a background in Linux, and so instead of re finding the webpage with the link, re-downloading the zip, and using a command line to unzip the tar file, I just re-tared the folder that was extracted. Does that make sense?

Yes, I can upload a copy, but you’re right, it really is just better to use the file you have.

The battery IS with a connector and not soldered to the board. I could disconnect/reconnect it, but does it matter if I have my original card in the kobo when I try this? I don’t want it to try to format my card with the OS on it and try to copy a broken system onto it from RAM.
