And I wasn't aware that root access to Linux was predicated on running xterm or being able to install emacs. I do seem to recall that we were discussing root access before you tried to sidetrack into what packages were installed out of the box.
Okay, last time I looked into it, it required modifying system files to even enable telnet. There's not much point to doing it so I stopped caring about the time of the Kobo Mini. I was wrong. Sorry.

You kind of got sidetracked that it was so easy to get root access on a Kobo that you missed the main point of the thread IMO, and that's that eReaders running Linux don't really run Linux in the same way as a Ubuntu install or Fedora.
