Can't install Rockbox on an H340

<< < (4/5) > >>

Ta. I've been using Linux for years, so I know about terms such as root, but when there's a folder in the player labelled 'root', then I just follow the instructions!

It's not that.  The term "root" is reasonably clear, and even if it's not, we've striven to make it clear in the documentation what we mean.  However, in this case, the problem was that iriver made the idiotic decision to name a directory "root."

Alright, I didn't know iriver had a folder named root, I don't have a H3x0.  I was just trying to help.

Sorry.

Febs:
There's nothing to apologize for.  the advice you gave in this thread was good advice.  I wasn't being critical of your post, but of iriver's decision to use the name "root" for a folder.
