Full tutorial
« on: November 27, 2006, 07:35:03 AM »
Can anyone kindly point me in the direction of a full Rockbox install on a new 30gb 5.5G Ipod video  

I have looked on the thread relating to the new ports but it isn't all that clear to me

I want to purchase a 30gb 5.5G Ipod video today but only if I can install Rockbox, the thought of having to use iTunes brings me out in a cold sweat I love Rockbox to much.

That is the only tutorial for the 30gb 5.5g that I am aware of.

Thank you for the reply

Is the process basically the same as the old 5g video ipod but you need to use a loader of some sort.

Why exactly is there not a clear tutorial written, Rockbox as I understand is up and running on a 5.5g video ipod ???

No, it isn't, that's the point!  5.5G ipod port is still basically a kludged workaround AFAIK, so no 'proper' information is available.

But please feel free to write a tutorial if you feel that there should be one.
