Ok so I've done the first 2 prerequisites and the first part of the 3rd (i.e. installing USBNetwork hack), but I am stuck at the next:

iii) it would be a good idea to also install the USBNetwork hack (also available in NiLuJe's snapshots thread), setup ssh access (the process is described in the wiki) and try to connect to the Kindle; I used PuTTY on a Windows PC.

Do I HAVE TO do this? Or can I skip it?
I dont really understand much of what's written in the Wiki here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...USB_Networking

and it's a very long Wiki post. Which part of it should I focus on, in case I need to do what's written there?

Cheers!
