Installing the rmware
1.Download your chosen version of Rockbox from the links in the previous section.
2.Connect your player to the computer via USB as described in the manual that came with your player.
3.Take the .zip le that you downloaded and use the \Extract all" command of your unzip program to extract the les onto your player.
Note: The entire contents of the .zip le should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive. Do not try to create a separate directory on your player for the Rockbox les! The .zip le already contains the internal structure that Rockbox needs.

Installing the fonts package
Rockbox has a fonts package that is available at http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml or from the extras link in the menu on the Rockbox website. While the current builds and daily builds change frequently, the fonts package rarely changes and is therefore not included in these builds. When installing Rockbox for the rst time, you should install the fonts package. The release version, on the other hand, does not change, so fonts are included with it.
1.Download the fonts package from the link above.
2.Take the le that you downloaded above, and use the \Extract all" command of your unzip program to extract the les in the .zip le onto your player. As with the rmware installation, the entire contents of the fonts .zip should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive. Do not try to create a separate directory on your player for the fonts! The .zip already contains the correct internal structure.
Installing the bootloader
Installing the bootloader is only needed once. It simply requires you to replace a le on your player with the Rockbox bootloader. To be able booting the original rmware please make sure to rename the original le properly. If you ever wish to uninstall Rockbox you should keep a backup copy of the original le.
Download the Rockbox bootloader from http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/ gigabeat/
