I have a youtube account - but no g-mail account. Most of the rooting / ROM upgrades show that you need Gmail / youtube account.

Does that mean

a) you need either G-mail - OR - Youtube account.

or

b) You need G-mail - and - Youtube account.

Or does it mean that you need both to register and get Google apps up and running on your device?

Thanks

Google owns youtube so you can use either account. To use the market once rooted, open the youtube app and sign in under your youtube account. This will allow access to the android market (app).
