5.12.2.2 Can't install USBNetwork

Following the Tutorial Open Sesame! (AKA., The New & Improved JailBreak Index) Using 7-zip on a Win PC to extract the files, I prepared a Paperwhite 2 (6th gen) using the WatchThis jailbreak. I applied the hotfix JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip , MR Package Installer kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r19303.tar.xz , and then KUAL.

At this point I attempted to load USBNetwork kindle-usbnet-0.22.N-r19297.tar.xz using the 'Install MR Packages' helper and although I briefly saw the name of the package appear in the 'destroy' message, the package hasn't shown up in the KUAL menu.

On closer reading I realised I hadn't installed the coplate version of KUAL so applied the uninstall and then installed from KUAL-f190a38-20240104.tar.xz (my only mis-step AFAIK). This left me with two KUALs in the Library so I deleted the defunct one. But this has made no difference - further attempts to install the USBNetwork package still results in no-show.

I have since loaded other packages OK - e.g. Kterm so it seems strange to not get USBNetwork loaded. Any tips here folks?

You don’t need tar.xz files, but rather .bin files from within those archives.

UsePeaSip to deal with tar files.
