The rockbox.ipod file is distributed in the rockbox.zip file you download from the "current build" section of the rockbox site.
When unzipped onto your ipod it lives in the .rockbox directory.
How do you "push" hold? It's a switch that's either on or off? And why are you even touching it in the first place ?

I found out why, I didn't have the good version for my iPod.
Sorry about the push thing, english isn't my first language. And I was touching it to have my iPod in normal iPod view.

I've followed every instruction to the T and when it comes to the part about having the ".rockbox" folder on your iPod it's not called ".rockbox" but just "rockbox"
not sure what the problem is, I'm doing this on a mac
thanks
GodEater:
The problem is the (default?) unzip utility on Macs insisting that it knows better than you do what to call your files when it unpacks them from the .zip file.
This has been mentioned quite a few times in this forum, and a quick search should reveal what you can do about it.
Juuken:
By the way i've noticed that in the instructions to put a 5.5 ipod into disk mode were kinda misleading. To do it properly you need to hold select and then play
i tried several times holding play then select and didn't get anywhere
