365 Rockbox Utility will ask you for a compatible copy of the original
366 firmware. This is because for legal reasons we cannot distribute
367 the bootloader directly. Instead, we have to patch the MPIO firmware
368 with the Rockbox bootloader.

377 If the file that you downloaded is a \fname{.zip} file, use an unzip
378 utility like mentioned in the prerequisites section to extract
379 the \fname{.SYS} from the \fname{.zip} file
380 to your desktop. Likewise, if the file that you downloaded is an
381 \fname{.exe} file, double-click on the \fname{.exe} file to extract
382 the \fname{.SYS} file to your desktop.
383 When running Linux you should be able to extract \fname{.exe}
384 files using \fname{unzip}.
