Subject: Update Beast installation instructions to use beastpatcher and remove
 instructions for fixing partition table as this will shortly be done
 on-the-fly by the bootloader.  Download locations for beastpatcher still
 required.

-\subsubsection{Fixing the partition table}
-The factory-standard partition table on your \daps{} disk is technically
-invalid, and the Linux kernel (and maybe other operating systems) rejects it.
-To fix this, you need to use the fdisk utility to correctly set the ``bootable
-flag'' field to a valid value (it doesn't matter if this is true or false).\\
-
-\note{Windows does not seem to mind this, so if you only use your \dap{} with
-Windows the following steps are not necessary.\\}
-
-Assuming your \dap{} is appearing as /dev/sdz (the output of the dmesg
-command will show the log messages including the device node assigned to
-your \dap{}), type the following:
-
-\begin{code}
-    fdisk /dev/sdz
-    a
-    1
-    a
-    2
-    w

+\fixme{add download location} (32-bit x86 
+binary) or \fixme{add download location} 
+(64-bit amd64 binary). You can save this anywhere you wish, but the next 
+steps will assume you have saved it in your home directory.

+\item Attach your \dap{} to your computer.

-in order for it to be recognised by your computer.
