I wasn't able to find any detailed documentation/FAQ, but I did find some answers in my wanderings around the forum. Some were relatively definitive, while in some cases all I have is guesses based on reading between the lines.
Here's my questions and the answers I have:
Does KoboRoot.tgz contain an _entire_ root filesystem, or just some files to add/change?
It's just the files that are being added or changed. It's like a patch file.
Do the KoboRoot.tgz files get automatically deleted from the device?
Yes, if the install/upgrade is successful, the file should be automatically deleted. If the file is still there, try rebooting and see if something gets installed or if the file is still there after the reboot. If that doesn't work, advanced troubleshooting is necessary to figure out why it didn't work.
Does the KoboRoot.tgz system only do add-file and modify-file, or can it do delete-file as well?
Not sure. It can (most likely) do replace-file-with-zero-length-file, and that's almost as good as delete-file.
