Dear listers

I am blind and would happily try the accessibility of the util but for one
concern. I have an older version of Rockbox on an iRiver H340 and would
like to update it if I knew for sure that the version that the rbutil would
find and install would work properly and have the relevant voice files etc.

Can I be confident that running rbutil will identify and install the right
versions of the bootloader, the firmware and the voicefiles and that all
will be working properly afterwards?

Is there any insurance measures I can take before trying it out? Like
copying the .rockbox folder and rockbox.iriver files from my iRiver onto my
computer before trying it so that at least I can get back to where I was
before (minus the old bootloader anyway)?

Any reassurances/clarification welcomed.

Thanks, Robin.

>> For an official installer it should also be useable by the visually
