From 8dc70840d362ae0d3a2fe3086df60d6726896e47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Parker Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 14:18:18 +0000 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.
