Hi Thanks for the credit concerning the web site, and I hope people find it useful. I wrote the RNIB article. I think the installation of Rockbox on the iPod products is more difficult because there is not an installer program to automate the process. However I have prepared an audio tutorial telling you specifically how to install it and demonstrating it available on the site, so feel free to listen to that.
