  31   \item The version of mkamsboot for your operating system from
  32     \download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/mkamsboot/}
  33 \end{itemize}
  34
  35 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
  36
  37 \begin{enumerate}
  38
  39 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
  40   the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  41
  42 \item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  43
  44 \item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  45   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  46
  47   % The following arguments to the code environment select the correct line out
  48   % of the code block. This is necessary as using \opt{} in the code block would
  49   % create unwanted empty lines.

  63     mkamsboot.exe clpza.bin bootloader-clipzip.sansa patched.bin
  64   \end{code}
  65
  66   If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  67
  68 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  69   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  70   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  71   \opt{clipv1}{(``m300a.bin''} \opt{clipv2}{(``m30pa.bin''}

  75
  76 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X and Linux}
  77
  78 \begin{enumerate}
  79
  80 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' in your home directory, and then
  81   extract the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  82
  83 \item Open a new terminal, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  84
  85 \item Run mkamsboot, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  86   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
