  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   % The following arguments to the code environment select the correct line out
  45   % of the code block. This is necessary as using \opt{} in the code block would
  46   % create unwanted empty lines.
  47   \begin{code}[firstline=\opt{fuze}{1}\opt{fuzev2}{2}\opt{e200v2}{3}%
  48             \opt{clipv1}{4}\opt{clipv2}{5}\opt{clipplus}{6}\opt{c200v2}{7},%

  57     mkamsboot.exe c200pa.bin bootloader-c200v2.sansa patched.bin
  58   \end{code}
  59
  60   If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  61
  62 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  63   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  64   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  65   \opt{clipv1}{(``m300a.bin''} \opt{clipv2}{(``m30pa.bin''}
  66   \opt{clipplus}{(``clppa.bin''} \opt{fuzev2}{(``fuzpa.bin''}
  67   \opt{c200v2}{(``c200pa.bin''} above).
  68
  69 \item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
  70 \end{enumerate}
  71
  72 \subsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X and Linux}
  73
  74 \begin{enumerate}
  75
  76 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' in your home directory, and then
  77   extract the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  78
  79 \item Open a new terminal, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  80
  81 \item Run mkamsboot, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  82   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.

  98   If mkamsboot does not report success, then retry or abort.
  99
 100 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
 101   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
 102   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
