Rockbox is distributed as an archive using the \fname{.zip} format. Thus you
need a tool to handle that compressed format. Usually your
computer should have a tool installed that can handle the zip file format.
Windows XP has builtin support for zip files and presents them to you
as folders unless you have installed a third party program that handles
compressed files. For other operating systems this may vary. If the zip file

There are two separate components of Rockbox that need to be installed in
order to run Rockbox.
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Rockbox bootloader. This is the component of Rockbox that is installed
to the flash memory of your \playerman. The bootloader is the program that tells
your \dap\ how to boot and load other components of Rockbox.
\item The Rockbox firmware. Unlike the \playerman\ firmware which runs entirely
from flash memory most of the Rockbox code is contained in the build that
resides on your \daps{} hard drive. This makes it easy to update Rockbox. The
build contain a file named \firmwarefilename\ and a directory called
\fname{.rockbox} which are located in the root directory of your hard drive.
