Well, you can download a "live CD" linux distribution, preferably Knoppix. Boot your own machine from the live CD, and you have access to a Linux machine. After you finish playing, simply reboot machine, take out CD, ...
If the Knoppix download is too big for your internet connection you can try Slax, or Daman Small Linux (50MB download), or anything that you local Linux geek^H^H^H^H nerd^H^H^H^H expert has in his/her hands at the moment. (**)
Thera ere a few links to "live linux CDs" at http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=cd

But there are questions that have much higher priority than this, Linux, one, so do this please only when you run out of things you can try on your new toy ;-)

I am looking forward to it.

Can you please take some short text (downloaded from The project Guttenberg, for example), create an STK file and post BOTH files. When trying to decode file it helps to have encoded file AND the original file.
Not that I think that it will be easy to decode the file, but one of readers of this forum night be able to notice something that might help us. Even Sony Librie heavyweight encrypted file format got cracked eventualy.

By the way
Has StarEbook indicated what OS the machine uses?
Has StarEbook indicated what hardware platform (procesor) the machine uses?

Thank you
