I don’t remember whether or not the file had a .txt extension, but I just downloaded the svn snapshot just now and there is a file called Install.txt showing the Linux formatting. Either way, Ubuntu will do the trick. Thanks for letting me know. I had very little guidance getting ZeroSlackr to work and also have very little Linux experience. I don’t remember finding a readable Windows documentation of this thing (this was a while ago) and I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. I probably was just too lazy to look.

That should have been the first clue the file was not formatted for Windows. You do mention using Ubuntu. Maybe you should try installing things from there. Actually on the ZeroSlackr Sourceforge page there is even a slax distro for download that’s purpose is for compiling ZeroSlackr. You should try compiling SVN revision 188. It’s not available in binary form so it would be a good learning experience.

It looks hella cool having the bootloader screen with Rockbox, Zeroslackr, and other options when you turn on your Pod
