  29     \download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/mkamsboot/}
  30 \end{itemize}
  31
  32 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
  33
  34 \begin{enumerate}
  35
  36 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
  37   the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  38
  39 \item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  40
  41 \item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  42   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  43
  44   \begin{code}
  45     \opt{fuze}{mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  46     \opt{fuzev2}{mkamsboot.exe fuzpa.bin bootloader-fuzev2.sansa patched.bin}
  47     \opt{e200v2}{mkamsboot.exe e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  48     \opt{clipv1}{mkamsboot.exe m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  49     \opt{clipv2}{mkamsboot.exe m30pa.bin bootloader-clipv2.sansa patched.bin}
  50     \opt{clipplus}{mkamsboot.exe clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin}
  51     \opt{c200v2}{mkamsboot.exe c200pa.bin bootloader-c200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  52   \end{code}
  53
  54   If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  55
  56 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  57   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  58   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  59   \opt{clipv1}{(``m300a.bin''} \opt{clipv2}{(``m30pa.bin''}
  60   \opt{clipplus}{(``clppa.bin''} \opt{fuzev2}{(``fuzpa.bin''}
  61   \opt{c200v2}{(``c200pa.bin''} above).
  62
  63 \item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
  64 \end{enumerate}
  65
  66 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X and Linux}
  67
  68 \begin{enumerate}
  69
  70 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' in your home directory, and then
  71   extract the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  72
  73 \item Open a new terminal, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  74
  75 \item Run mkamsboot, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  76   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  77
  78   \begin{code}
  79     \opt{fuze}{./mkamsboot fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  80     \opt{fuzev2}{./mkamsboot fuzpa.bin bootloader-fuzev2.sansa patched.bin}
  81     \opt{e200v2}{./mkamsboot e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  82     \opt{clipv1}{./mkamsboot m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  83     \opt{clipv2}{./mkamsboot m30pa.bin bootloader-clipv2.sansa patched.bin}
  84     \opt{clipplus}{./mkamsboot clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin}
  85     \opt{c200v2}{./mkamsboot c200pa.bin bootloader-c200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  86   \end{code}
  87
  88   If mkamsboot does not report success, then retry or abort.
  89
  90 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  91   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  92   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  93   \opt{clipv1}{(``m300a.bin''} \opt{clipv2}{(``m30pa.bin''}
  94   \opt{clipplus}{(``clppa.bin''} \opt{fuzev2}{(``fuzpa.bin''}
  95   \opt{c200v2}{(``c200pa.bin''} above).
  96
  97 \item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
