What I make from this is : A full firmware update contains a directory with device specific files (different between the available Mark's), and koboroot.tgz containing the common bits for every Mark.
So what they did (I did it also actually), was taking the latest hardware update for their device, combining it with the latest general software release, hoping that no special hardware bit is needed by the latest software update.
Hope this makes sense..... |
Yep. It does now that you put it this way.
Yeah, I read it before (actually twice) but I didn't know what it meant, but when you put it this way, I can understand.
