Really stupid installation question
« on: January 12, 2008, 07:57:39 PM »
Hey everyone. Just found out about Rockbox, and figured I'd like to make the most out my music player, but I've hit what I'd call a wall of stupid. I'm installing the current build onto a 4th gen iPod Color, but the manual tells me to extract to the root of the player, and I don't know where that's located. I probably know what it is, just not the name for it. Any help?

The root is the start of the drive.

For example, if your iPod is drive I:/ to your computer, then I:/ is your root.

In your root, you should have folders like "Notes" and "Calendars" and stuff.

Please don't send people to third parties for tools. There's a perfectly good link to our patcher at our site.

Well, it is on the iPodlinux site (which you even mention!) and not the Rockbox one....

Seems a reasonable indication to me.
