I can't get past the rockbox step of c.2) Extract firmware binary

[mettleh3d]

I have iplinux installed on my 1st gen nano.

I'm sorry, but I've read the instructions about 20 times over, and I just can't understand this step.  I've looked at the ipW forums and I can't understand how to extract firmware image using ipwizard.  I've found a button in iPW to extract ipod firmware BINARY, but is that the same as apple ipod firmware IMAGE?

even so, i extracted the ipod firmware and labled it as bootpartition.bin, but i don't know where to put the folder "ipod_fw"  anyway.

Sorry, I'm new to all this and I would appreciate any help.  Thanks

There are 1 billlion people who've installed rockbox and not one of you can point me in the right direction?

I think that only a fraction of those who have installed Rockbox have also installed IPL.  And of that fraction, most have probably used the self-installer that apparently is available from IPL.

Check out the ipod wizard's site on how to use that program.

You can put ipod_fw.exe anywhere. just navigate to the folder using your command line interface.

If I am trying to get rockbox to work with ipodlinux's bootloader, one would think to go to ipodlinux's site to get information on how to get their bootloader to do this.

Unless you wanted to use Rockbox's bootloader to load either, which is a different method...
