  29 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
  30
  31 \begin{enumerate}
  32
  33 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
  34   the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  35
  36 \item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  37
  38 \item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  39   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  40
  41   \begin{code}
  42     \opt{fuze}{mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  43     \opt{fuzev2}{mkamsboot.exe fuzpa.bin bootloader-fuzev2.sansa patched.bin}
  44     \opt{e200v2}{mkamsboot.exe e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  45     \opt{clipv1}{mkamsboot.exe m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  46     \opt{clipv2}{mkamsboot.exe m30pa.bin bootloader-clipv2.sansa patched.bin}
  47     \opt{clipplus}{mkamsboot.exe clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin}
  48   \end{code}
  49
  50   If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  51
  52 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  53   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  54   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  55   \opt{clipv1}{(``m300a.bin''} \opt{clipv2}{(``m30pa.bin''}
  56   \opt{clipplus}{(``clppa.bin''} \opt{fuzev2}{(``fuzpa.bin''} above).
  57
  58 \item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
  59 \end{enumerate}

  61 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X and Linux}
  62
  63 \begin{enumerate}
  64

  67
  68 \item Open a new terminal, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  69
  70 \item Run mkamsboot, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  71   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  72
  73   \begin{code}
  74     \opt{fuze}{./mkamsboot fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  75     \opt{fuzev2}{./mkamsboot fuzpa.bin bootloader-fuzev2.sansa patched.bin}
  76     \opt{e200v2}{./mkamsboot e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  77     \opt{clipv1}{./mkamsboot m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  78     \opt{clipv2}{./mkamsboot m30pa.bin bootloader-clipv2.sansa patched.bin}
  79     \opt{clipplus}{./mkamsboot clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin}
  80   \end{code}
  81
  82   If mkamsboot does not report success, then retry or abort.
