   3   Installing the bootloader is the trickiest part of the installation.
   4   As explained above, we cannot distribute the bootloader directly, and
   5   thus need to patch a compatible version of the Iriver firmware, which
   6   can be downloaded as described above.

  10   \item Download the firmware patcher \fname{fwpatcher.exe} from
  11   \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iriver/} and save it to your desktop.
  12     \note{The firmware patcher contains Unicode support, which is not supported by
  13     all versions of Windows. If you have difficulty with the firmware patcher, try
  14     downloading the alternate firmware patcher \fname{fwpatchernu.exe}, which is
  15     built without Unicode support.}

  23   \item Click \setting{Patch}. The firmware patcher will patch the
  24     original firmware to include the Rockbox bootloader. The \fname{.hex}
  25     file on your desktop is now a modified version of the original
  26     \fname{.hex} file.
