Easy instructions for installing a patch?????
UMT:
Ok, folks. Nice links and helpful advice. I'm probably only the 10,000 person to ask the same NOOB question so I appreciate your help and patience.
Thank You,
UMT
OK, problem. I installed Cygwin and when I get to Step 3: Select the Rockbox mirror site and install and then I enter: http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/, I get the following error message:
"Unable to get http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin//setup.ini.sig from http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/"
What do I do now? I tried this several times and at different times and I still get the same error message.
Thanks,
UMT

From the cygwin installation page, directly below where it tells you the link for the Rockbox repository:
--- Quote ---In case you encounter an error regarding missing .sig file, supply the -X (--no-verify) command-line flag when using Cygwin's setup.exe.
--- End quote ---
If this doesn't work, the double / in

looks odd, try http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin without the trailing slash (I don't think it is this, I think you just haven't passed the -X flag.
Chronon:
I don't think we have a .sig set up for Cygwin. I believe the setup.exe is looking for a .sig file to authenticate against the Cygwin servers and failing. If you supply the -X flag then it shouldn't complain about this.
UMT:
Well, I thought the // looked funny too so I entered it manually without them but the Error message came back the same, including the //.....
Here's the problem: I'm a NOOB... I have NO IDEA what a -X flag is nor how to 'supply' one. I'm trying to follow the directions on the site but the author assumes you know something about programming. Am I wasting my (and your) time?
Thanks,
UMT
Chronon:
It means you have to run "Setup.exe -X" from the command line (assuming the current directory contains Setup.exe). You could also do Start --> Run --> "C:\path-to-setup\Setup.exe -X"
(Replace the italicized part in accordance with where you saved Setup.exe.)
