Ok, released the first "stable" packages. This worked for me without any tweaking. Test it and post your results. This first beta ONLY supports Kindle 2.5.8 -> 3.1.

There is currently a weird bug, for some reason, the host sometimes crashes on "saving tts files," if your update creation process ends early with a successful message and the log stops at "saving tts files," you have this bug. To get past it, do a hard reset (hold sleep for 30 seconds), copy rootfs.img from the client again (you cannot reuse the image if the update process exits), and try again. I'll try to find the cause of this problem, but it seems to occur if you run the script more then once before rebooting.
