I was also thinking about Kobo making live CD, that makes
needed SD card. There is a lot of small footprint linux distros.
One just has to add a script to the booting process. That file
should call user to insert usb card reader with the card in it.
When user confirms that it was done, script finds it in /dev as
a proper device, formats it to one partition, makes file system
on it, mounts it and lets tar to do the rest. Few shell script li-
nes. Nothing more. Upgrade files are already on the medium.
So, no need to read manuals, to say "I'm newbie" or alike.
One point has to be addressed: how to know what device is
called? Script might first make "ls /dev" and repeat it after SD
card insertion. App named "diff" finds different lines and re-
port the name to the script.
My opinion is that it would be easier for all users to have card,
ready for upgrade.
