Also, ebs explained how he created the hack, for those who understand Unix hash coding, as follows:
Code:
[root@kindle us]# pwd
/mnt/us
[root@kindle us]# mkdir screensaver-lp
[root@kindle us]# cd screensaver-lp/
Use scp to copy screensaver-lp.tar.gz to /mnt/us/screensaver-lp, then
Code:
[root@kindle screensaver-lp]# tar xzf screensaver-lp.tar.gz
[root@kindle screensaver-lp]# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 4 02:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jul 4 02:03 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6447 Jun 28 01:39 bspatch

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 683 Jul 4 2009 restore.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15726 Jul 4 02:03 screensaver-lp.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1539 Jul 4 2009 ss_lock.gif
[root@kindle screensaver-lp]# mntroot rw
system: I mntroot:def:Making root filesystem writeable
[root@kindle screensaver-lp]# ./install.sh
install: screensaver-lp v0.01, Sat Jul 4 02:06:12 UTC 2009
Done!
To remove, run restore.sh script
NO Implied warranty of any kind, by the way, with ebs, I strongly recommend you take some "anti-bricking" precautions, e.g. usbnetwork auto-start. This is potentially dangerous hack.
