Regarding the installation of the screen saver hack for versions 5.17 and above:

After jailbreaking, ensure that KUAL and Mrpi are functional.

Then, install usbnetlite via MRPI (https://github.com/notmarek/kindle-u...ases/tag/1.0.M).
In KUAL, select USBNetLite -> Toggle USBNetwork.

Connect the Kindle to the internet, and SSH into the Kindle from your computer: `ssh root@[kindle IP] -p 22`. (The default pw is 'kindle')
Using WinSCP, execute the following commands in sequence:
1. `mntroot rw`
2. `ln -s /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3`
3. `mntroot ro`

After completing these steps, you can proceed to install the screensaver hack using Mrpi as usual.
On 5.17+. Got this all working and screensaver hack installed but it will not show a cover. It will get stuck on processing cover and I have to force restart. Then once logged in, it only shows the "the screensavers hack is currently in cover mode but hasn't yet successfully processed a book cover". Does this fix bypass the need to install python? Python will still fail during install with a script error even after this ssh fix. I put a blank file named cover in the correct folder already and left a book open for 5 minutes.
