\section{Preparing for Rockbox}
There are two separate components of Rockbox that need to be installed in order
to run Rockbox.
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Rockbox bootloader. This is the component of Rockbox that is installed
  to the flash memory of your \playerman. The bootloader is the program that tells
  your \dap\ how to boot and load other components of Rockbox.
\item The Rockbox firmware. Unlike the \playerman\ firmware, which runs entirely
  from flash memory, most of the Rockbox code is contained in the build that
  resides on your jukebox's hard drive. This makes it easy to update Rockbox. The
  build contain a file named \firmwarefilename\ and a directory called
  \fname{.rockbox} which are located in the root directory of your  hard drive.
\end{enumerate}
