I have a working Linux environment on my kobo mini, with(!) external keyboard and mouse and ...... all other usb stuff you could wish for!
You'll need an OTG cable and a powered(5V) usb hub, since the kobo mini cannot provide any power to usb devices.
I used the image created by user guang6321 for the aura HD
(post : Debian/Android DualBoot for Aura HD )
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jG44Mxw
(on the partition 5 is the debian environment)
You'll need uImage1, which can be found in the source-codes : Linux-2.6.35...gz on the same website.
I took a default kobo-mini reader image.
Partition 1 of this image starts at block 16732 (or something)
I removed the partitions with fdisk.
I created a bigger partition 1 (> 5G), because this has to contain the Linux partition, starting at block 16xxx (same as before)
I created a small swap partition 2.
Next, I put the uImage1 (from the source code directory) and put it into place with the usual command.
And I copied the Original Linux partition number 5 to partion1.
This allows you to boot the kobo mini with a Linux system.
You have to adapt this using settings (I used a mouse, because the touch screen settings are for the aura) -- I changed the language from chinese to something I could understand.
I modified xorg.conf (touchscreen for kobo 800 and 600 calibration), so this is usable as well.
And that's it, the rest is debian stuff.
