also, it'd be helpful if selecting a hack tht remaps buttons automatically changed the choice on the right and grayed it out. I dunno if the data for this is there already, but it could also be used to guard agains key conflicts.

and lastly:
is it possible to use libprs or something to automate copying files to a Reader? This would be convenient, but also extremely useful for people who don't have SD card readers (like me :-( ).
and on a related but more anal note: I don't like how there's so many files in the root directory with igorsk's toolkit. it's possible to put them in a directory. in fact, i should probably go do it (i've done this a little bit before)


p.s. i don't get it... what's the point of suspend? the power button does this job well. Can the power button even be remapped?
I don't know the way to do this, but if you put your SD card into your reader, you can use libprs500 to copy the installer and the hacks over to the SD card to then use to install the hacks.
