Installing the bootloader is only needed once. It simply requires you
to replace a file on your \dap{} with the Rockbox bootloader. To be able
booting the original firmware please make sure to rename the original file
properly. If you ever wish to uninstall Rockbox you should keep a backup copy
of the original file.

\begin{itemize}
\item Download the Rockbox bootloader from
  \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/}
\item Starting at the root folder of your player browse into the folder
  \fname{GBSYSTEM} and from that into the subfolder \fname{FWIMG}.
  These folders are hidden. Make sure that you have configured your browser
  to show hidden files or you may be unable to see \fname{FWIMG}.
\item In that folder you'll find a file called \fname{FWIMG01.DAT}. This too
  may be hidden. Rename the file to \fname{FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG}. Make sure you
  spelled that name  correctly as it is needed for booting the \playerman{} firmware.
\item Now copy the file \fname{FWIMG01.DAT} you downloaded to that folder.
  Make sure the spelling is correct.
\end{itemize}
