When I plug me Kindle DX into my mac, I do NOT see all the files/folders that some of the hacks seem to require.

This leads me to think that there is another vol/partition. Also, some of the hacks mention rootfs access. This is why I am asking.

I am NOT at all worried about bricking my kindle. There have been some who feel the need to comment on my technical abilities, please shut up.

I am only interested in comments that guide my in the right direction. I have successfully jailbroken multiple iPhones, hack my Kindle I and put Linux mods on several wireless routers. So please.

The REALLY good engineers can write instructions that even a novice can use to hack their Kindle. This forum should allow a novice user, who wants the BENEFIT from a hack, to install it on their kindle.

Insulting me, commenting on what you perceive as my abilities is not helpful to anyone.
