HAPTER
NSTALLATION
from Rockbox website: Current Version, Daily Build and Bleeding Edge. You need to
decide which one you want to install and get the version for your player.
Current Version. The current version is the latest stable version developed by the
Rockbox Team. It's free of known critical bugs. It is available from
rockbox.org/download/. The current version includes everything meaning you
won't need to download the fonts package separately.
Daily Build. The Daily Build is a development version of Rockbox. It supports all new
features and patches developed since last stable version. It may also contain bugs!
This version is generated automatically every day and can be found at
rockbox.org/daily.shtml. The daily builds don't include the fonts (as they change
rarely). When installing Rockbox for the first time you should install the fonts
package.
Bleeding Edge. Bleeding edge builds are the same as the Daily build, but built from
the latest development on each commit to the CVS repository. These builds are
for people who want to test the code that developers just checked in.
If you don't want to get undefined behaviour from your player you should really
stick to the Current Version. Development versions may have lots of changes so they
may behave completely different than described in this manual, introduce new (and
maybe annoying) bugs and similar. If you want to help the project development you
can try development builds and help by reporting bugs, feature requests and so so. But
be aware that using a development build may eat also some more time.
After downloading the Rockbox package connect your player to the computer via
USB as described in the manual that came with your player. Take the file that you
downloaded above, and unpack its contents to your Archos's drive.
You will need to unpack all of the files in the archive onto your hard disk. If this
has been done correctly, you will have a file called archos.mod in the main folder of
your player's drive, and also a folder called /.rockbox, which contains a number of
system files needed by Rockbox.
Note: Please note that the firmware folder starts with a leading dot. You may experience
problems when trying to create such folders when using Windows. Directly unzipping
to your player's drive works flawlessly; it is only Windows' Explorer that is limited in
handling such files.
2.3. Enabling Speech Support (optional)
If you wish to use speech support you will also need a language file, available from
//www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceFiles. For the English language, the file is
called english.voice. When it has been downloaded, unpack this file and copy it
into the lang folder which is inside the /.rockbox folder on your Jukebox. Voice
menus are turned on by default. See section
