2.2. Installing Rockbox
There are two ways to install Rockbox: automated and manual. The automated way is
the preferred method of installing Rockbox for the majority of people. Rockbox Utility
is a graphical application that does almost everything for you. However, should you
encounter a problem, then the manual way is still available to you.
There are two separate components which need to be installed in order to run Rockbox:
The Rockbox bootloader.
The bootloader is the program that tells your player how
to load and start other components of Rockbox and for providing the dual boot
function. This is the component of Rockbox that is installed to the flash memory
of your Sansa.
