If you want to root Froyo then use Superoneclick

If is Gingerbread you flash with the zip file. You don't need factory reset when rooting to Gingerbread. Remeber is designed to work on Stock ROM's only in recovery. CWM Recovery is not supported to flash the zip file.

Hello there!
I'm new to this community and to Android in specific. I got my Mini s5570B a few weeks ago, and I've read almost everything about android versions, roots and ROMs. Everything I could find, at least.
I never rooted before. Just want to make sure I do it right, cause I've read a few guides online and saw a few youtubes, in all of them the rooting used those programs (oneclick, keis and more) to root. This way seems too simple.
I'm using GT-5570B, GB 2.3.4 build GINGERBREAD.JJKQ5.
All I need to do to is just to download the zip, put it in my SD card's outside of any programs and restart to recovery? That simple?
Thanks for a (hopefully) fast and helpful answer,
Egozy.

Edit, more questions:
1) Do I need to download ANYTHING else before rooting? I've seen in some other places that there is an extra download for google applications which are pretty much a must (market)
2) A bit offtopic but I'm too confused with all those ROMs. I'm interested in CM7 since I understand it's the most lightweight (Fast) and efficient (battery life) ROM out there, but I see so many versions. 7.1, 7.2 and many many modifications of those. Can anybody recommend the simplest (fastest, no extra stuff) rom?

I flashed Gingerbread 2.3.6 into my Galaxy Mini, but now I am unable to root it. The above procedure doesn't work. When I do it in CWM, it performs some actions, but suddenly comes to a halt with some message, "installation aborted (status 7)...". What possibly could be the problem? Someone, help. :|

I assume this is why it doesn't work :\

I think the post in the tutorial is already telling you that, so you know now what you should do.
