Root How To: Remove (Almost) Every Trace of AT&T

[CrimsonPride]

Well, if anyone could help it's everyone in this forum. I'm ready to root and uninstall all this bloatware from my Captivate. But when I connect the usb to my computer and phone, they both recognize it, ( some of the time), and when I go to my notifications and click on "usb connected" nothing happens. The menu just hides itself like if you swipe your finger to get it out of the way. It doesn't "mount". What can I do?

is your phone in mass storage mode?

settings > applications > usb settings > mass storage
or something like that, i cant check right now

then try it again

Will I have to do all this again once I upgrade to 2.2?

Anybody know how to get rid of (or replace) the audio file that plays when the Captivate boots?

Command line says "adb is not a command".
Update .zip comes in RAR file.
Recovery says fail.
Any instructions for idiots?
