From one noob to the others.

I've had my tablet for a week now and it's been my first real experience with linux. Someone asked for noob friendly instructions for screen rotation, and, after reading this entire thread I've managed to get it to work...so to show my thanks I figured I'd post step by step instructions for those with no linux experience.

All that being said, these instructions were all found here in this thread. Thanks to everyone who worked to make this possible!

1. Download and install Becomeroot.
- Here: http://www.gronmayer.com/it/dl.php?id=136
- click 'open', click 'ok' to Add catalogue Eko One
- click 'ok' to refresh application list, open the Application Manager
- click 'browse installable applications', click 'all', click on 'Becomeroot'
- click 'install', click 'ok', click 'ok' on the notice, click 'ok' when successfully installed.
- close the Application Manager
2. Installing everything (hit enter after typing each line in the terminal)
- Go to 'utilities', click on 'Xterminal'
- Type sudo gainroot

- Type tar zxvf kernel_flasher.tgz
- Type tar zxvf kernel-2.2007.50-2-rotation.tar.gz
- Type mv zImage kernel_flasher/
- Type cd kernel_flasher/
- Type ./kernel_flash zImage
Close terminal
3. Red Pill Mode

5. Install the rotate applet
