It is experimental, however, as I don' t have a R series to test it on. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! It was made from the wiki, and should work, but I am not sure if it will. I am not responsible for stupidity (except my own). Please only use if you know what you are actually doing and don't want to do the process by hand. By the way, this is linux only.
Note: Because of forum rules, I uploaded this file as a .txt file. Just rename the file extension if/when you download it.

Very nice, seems to work better than mine...more automatic. However, there's no sleep (or similar) after some directions. Example: "Let's determine where your sansa is located. Plug in your sansa in regular mode. Don't mount it just yet." Right after bash is able to display that, it immediately runs fdisk, which wouldn't give the user enough time.
UPDATE: I don't think your script is needed now - JdGordon modified e200tool in a way to have it patch the bootloader, so now all you need to do is run "./et2 bootloader.bin" (without holding REC) and it patches it.

Yea, this is still in its alpha stages. I think I'll be setting up a SVN sometime soon. Just kidding. I've been trying to learn bash, so I just threw this together. I hoped that with the 2 flashing warning banners, that people would read every line somewhat carefully.

I'm saying that it needs to work on windows to make it 90% easier, without the hassle of using linux. For those windows users. (by the way, ubuntu(a linux based OS) is better than windows, in its own way).
