kindle update install, actually, consists of two major stages. The first stage is dedicated
to all that security stuff, and results into a decision if the requested update accepted or not.
Personally I find the above pretty boring, so don't know any details. I'm OK with the fact that
this allows me to write and deploy any code I want. That's more than enough for me.
The second stage is the actual install, and usually is controlled by install.sh script.
This script copies the binaries which constitute a 'hack' to the userstore (/mnt/us on Kindle)
and, if needed, creates some scripts to /etc/init.d and creates extra entries in /etc/rcS.d
and symbolic links to them. All this /etc stuff is needed mostly to enable the 'hack' to be activated
on startup.

P.S. it is 100% OK to be a noob. But you are certainly not the one
