Q33: Can I use the Archos as an USB harddisk to store data from my PDA/

A33: No. USB is a master/slave protocol, and both the Archos and your device

are slaves. Two slaves cannot communicate without a master (usually a PC).

Q62: Could you tell me how to apply a patch?
|
||||
A62: There are a ton of ways to apply a patch. One way is to use the (GNU)
|

'patch' program. It used like this:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd rockbox-root
|
||||
$ patch < magic.patch
|

|

Sometimes, the diff has path info you want to strip so that patch can
|

find your file names. -p then takes off a number of "path parts" from

left:

$ patch -p0 < magic.patch

If patch can't apply some changes that are in the diff, you'll get those

particular changes in a file named "[source-file].rej".
