i’ll ask my brother, he is on the dev. team for the gigabeat version of rockbox, but i guess he’ll know, just hang in there

ok thanks. Let me know soon!

well, he pointed me to a very usefull tool, the rockbox installer:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxUtility
also available for OS X

tell me how that works out

I’ve used the Rockbox Utility on my Xubuntu system and it’s excellent. Works like a charm.

By the way, for all your Rockbox questions, the documentation is an excellent first step, as it is very comprehensive.
