I happily received my K4NT in the mail yesterday, and subsequently spent the evening jailbreaking/watching Twin Peaks/doing research for a paper. I accomplished the following:

- Jailbreak the kindle 4NT (Silver) using the Method from the Wiki
- Enable SSH over Wifi using this method
- Changed root password to something memorable
- Log into it via WinSCP

But now I am somewhat stuck. I was just hoping someone could clear up a "small" misunderstanding on my side: If I want to install a bundle through the "update method", such as the BackDoorLock Hack, do I just place the appropriate install.bin file in the root of the Kindle USB Storage (ie not the Documents folder) and restart the kindle?

I read some 50 pages on this forum, and various google results, about what to do after jailbreaking the device, but I am sort of confused about whether the installation method for hacks and packages differ. I'm planning on installing the KUAL, but given the amount of warnings and prerequisites in that post I imagine installing it differs from smaller hacks.
