   3 In order to install the bootloader, you will need to download the following
   4 files:
   5
   6 \begin{itemize}
   7   \item An original firmware (OF) from \playerman's website:
   8     \opt{fuzeplus}{
   9       \url{http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Fuze/bd-p/Fuzeplus}}
  10
  11   \item The bootloader:
  12     \opt{fuzeplus}{\download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/fuzeplus/bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa}}
  13
  14   \item The version of mkimxboot for your operating system from Rockbox's server:
  15     \download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/mkimxboot/}
  16 \end{itemize}
  17
  18 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
  19
  20 \begin{enumerate}
  21
  22 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
  23   the OF, the bootloader and mkimxboot into it.
  24
  25 \item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  26
  27 \item Run mkimxboot.exe, passing according to the following syntax the name
  28   of the OF and bootloader files that you downloaded, in addition to a name for
  29   the output file and the option argument for dualboot.
  30
  31   % The following arguments to the code environment select the correct line out
  32   % of the code block. This is necessary as using \opt{} in the code block would
  33   % create unwanted empty lines.
  34   \begin{code}[firstline=\opt{fuzeplus}{1},%
  35                lastline=\opt{fuzeplus}{1}]
  36     mkimxboot.exe -i firmware.sb -b bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa -o patched.sb -t dualboot
  37   \end{code}
  38
  39   If mkimxboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  40
  41   \item Copy the output file (``patched.sb'' in the example given above) to the
  42     root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  43     \opt{fuzeplus}{(``firmware.sb''}  above).
  44
  45 \end{enumerate}
