From 42ef5b0c88f92418c79e7414063c808b7c36a9be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Parker Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:19:01 +0000 Subject: Reorganise/partially rewrite the installation chapter to present Rockbox Utility as the preferred installation method, and don't have important information only under manual install. For now retain manual install as a subsection.
