When you get around to playing with patches, open up the kobopatch.yaml file and read up on the ADDITIONAL FILES section at the bottom; that's how you would get kobopatch to include a custom hosts file and other things you may want to add into the KoboRoot.tgz package it generates (for example, you could extract and add the files of any mods you'd like to add (for example, miniclock or kfmon), to save time from flashing multiple KoboRoot.tgz files every time there's a firmware update. It's tedious to write in all those lines, but you only have to do it once).
wow. thanks so much. I'm already tired today so I think I'll try some of this tomorrow. maybe the patches are updated to the most recent firmware by then too. busy day today.

loving my Clara. the screen/lighting is as good or better as the Oasis for less than half the money. blown away.
