The "My ipod install went wrong" Thread. **Updated 6th Aug 2007**

I used WinZip for this case, but might try WinRar, which i trust more.
when i did uncompress it with winzip, it got named rockbox without the period all by itself.
coldman64:
HAH! WinRar worked, It named the folder .rockbox :D
Please put WinRar as a recommended filed decompresser in your installation guide
AlexP:
Winrar is proprietary and non-free. 7zip on the other hand (which is recommended IIRC), is open source and free. As both will correctly unzip the file, I strongly suspect that 7zip will remain the recommended tool, and not winrar.

Plus, 7zip is also available as command line client for linux (not sure about Mac OS).
We have a recommended tool, why do we need another? This is open source, not closed source advertising ;)
