iPod Mini install

[albangbang]

I want to install rockbox, but it seems the Ipod wont aknowledge the installfiles.

I have marked the "use as external drive" option and extracted the rockbox-firmware - but the .rockbox dir is not showing even when i am using the bash-terminal.. why!?

hardware-writeprotection for blocking all competition such as rockbox?

grateful for some hints..

Folders starting with . are likely just hidden for you. A folder starting with . is considered a hidden folder (or file) in many shells.

try

ls -a

to see the .rockbox/ dir
