    4848'''NOTE:''' If you for some reason use windows, which is not recommended much better is to use a linux distro. Then don't use notepad to edit the menu.lst, but use [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ notepad++]. In notepad++ goto Edit --> EOL conversion --> Unix. If it is grayed out you are ok, else click on it to set end of line to unix. Line endings should be in unix, because parsing the menu.lst on boot will screw up.

    52 This section will describe how you need to add the Gingerbread image file which can be downloaded from [http://www.openaos.org/wp-upload/gen8/2011-07-08/] 
    53  1. Connect your Archos to your PC with the USB cable. 
    54  2. Go into recovery by holding down the "volume down" button and switch on your archos. Keep the button pressed until you see the white recovery menu. Goto "Recovery system" --> "Repair System" --> "Start USB MSC". Your Archos internal memory will now be mounted on your PC. 
    55  3. Download the Gingerbread image file and copy it to the root of your Archos internal memory. No unpacking just copy it. 
    56  4. Rename the file to "openaos-gingerbread.img.gz". '''Note:''' Be sure to use all small letters, just exactly as it is mentioned. 
    57  5. '''Very Important:''' Safely umount/remove the archos from your PC. 
    58  6. Press the power button on your Archos and select "Reboot" in the white recovery menu. Hold down again the Volume down while rebooting, so you can select SDE to boot.

    60 === Some things you need to know === 
    61  * If the openaos-gingerbread.img.gz is correctly named, it will add an entry to menu.lst which is called Gingerbread. So no need to adjust menu.lst. 
    62  * If you for some stupid reason edited menu.lst and messed up, so it can't find the image file. Then you get a list of image files that are available from which you can choose.
