Rockbox-on-iPod Installer for Mac OS X

Introduction

Rockbox on the iPod is in a very early stage of development - so expect a few rough edges. It is functional on the iPod Color/Photo (those are the regular-sized iPods with color screens that are NOT capable of video playback), the "4G" grayscale iPod (the one with the clickwheel), the iPod Nano and the iPod Video (5G). THIS INSTALLER IS ONLY FOR iPOD VIDEO! I might get around to make one for the other...less important generations

As far as i know this installer works, i installed it for my iPod Video. If it doesn't and/or breaks your iPod i take no responsibillity for it..Your problem
