Questions about patching my Kobo Clara:

1. Do I just download 1 patch at a time for a feature wanted or are the patches cumulative as they are created?

2. I see the instructions say to download the firmware from the provided link. My Kobo came from Walmart. In my Kobo Clara I changed the affiliate to "Kobo." Can I download the regular Kobo firmware from now on and not use the Walmartca firmware anymore?

3. It looks like one downloads a new copy of the firmware for their device, then applies the patch to the downloaded firmware and then uploads the revised & patched firmware to their Kobo through a file that is created. Is this correct?

4. Will all existing settings and files then be overwritten besides just the firmware? Do I need to save a copy of all existing files on my Kobo Clara before attempting to upload a patched firmware copy? What about any custom fonts or config settings?

5. If I want to install more than 1 patch how do I accomplish this?

6. For Kobopatch: I'm using a Macbook 2017 model. Do I download the linux version 64bit? If no, which file do I use?

Thank you in advance. I don't want to do anything that will brick my device so better to ask before jumping ahead.
