To clarify:
1. After i have downloaded both firmware and patched firmware, do i place the ZIP of the original firmware into the CRC folder of the patched firmware?
2. Ok so let's say i do place the zip into that folder and then load it all into the .kobo folder - how then do i install it? Do i just eject Kobo and it self-installs?
3. What do you do to 'enable patches'? Do i plug it in again and click on something?
Thanks!

To add to Phil's response, the first step is to unzip the original firmware and copy its contents to the .kobo directory on your ereader. Safely eject and it should go into it's updating screen. While that's in progress, you can continue with generating the patch system's KoboRoot.tgz to have it ready to copy into the .kobo directory on your ereader. The firmware version you are patching must already be installed on your Kobo ereader before you can patch it.
Well, you could extract the patched files from the generated KoboRoot.tgz and inject them into the original firmware file's KoboRoot.tgz. This would allow doing the update/patch in one pass. I tried this once and it worked but really saved no time and involved more manual effort (manual effort is anathema around these parts
).
