How to choose your version/variant
    - if there is a "g" in directory name it is dedicated for the Kobo GLO (not the Mini)
    - if there is a "y" in directory name it is special adaption to the GoflyV{4|5} 
    - if there is a "v" in directory name it is special adaption to Bluefly-Vario
    - if there is a "b" in directory name it has support for bluetooth modem HC05
    - if there is a "p" in directory name it is dedicated for versions with 4 partitions on SD card
    - if there is a "l" (small L) in directory name it works via loop-device

    Do not mix up "l"- and "p"- versions. Install that image that matches your already installed version.
    Check your actual version with
	start Browser -> Home -> Status

	
Update procedure:
	- switch your Kobo on

CAVEAT!
    This software might not be compatible with the firmware of your Kobo.
    First check the FW-version before you place the Koboroot.tgz in the 
    update-folder.  Otherwise you will render your Kobo unuseable with the 
    need to pull out the SD-card.
    
    You find the FW-Version under "Settings"->"Device Info". 
    See also https://sourceforge.net/p/kobo-xcsoar-launcher/wiki/how-to-get-firmware-version/
    
    Due to a change in underlying Qt-Libraries this software will not 
    work with Kobo firmwares other than 2.1.2 (r42517).  This will happen
    on all Kobos that have been "updated" over the internet at least once.
    
    To step back you may try "factory reset" (without allowing the Kobo to go 
    online) on your own risk (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/kobo-xcsoar-launcher/files/Factory-Reset/)
