From 1b5c32d246a68284d59f63053ad11e744199c384 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Menes Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:36:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix up the iPod install section of the manual to bring it more up to date (especially the Mac OS X install instructions), and also some general cleanup of language. Also added myself to the manual credits. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@19487 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657 --- docs/CREDITS-MANUAL | 2 +- manual/getting_started/ipod_install.tex | 35 ++++++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/CREDITS-MANUAL b/docs/CREDITS-MANUAL index 340862d927..a136629ed4 100644 --- a/docs/CREDITS-MANUAL +++ b/docs/CREDITS-MANUAL @@ -31,4 +31,4 @@ Philippe Latulippe Costas Calamvokis Peter Harley Will Robertson - +Robert Menes diff --git a/manual/getting_started/ipod_install.tex b/manual/getting_started/ipod_install.tex index 97b13bfd71..06bcbe8ea4 100644 --- a/manual/getting_started/ipod_install.tex +++ b/manual/getting_started/ipod_install.tex @@ -17,19 +17,28 @@ step once. \begin{enumerate} \item Make sure you are logged into your computer as Administrator, or a -user with Administrator privileges and connect your \dap{}. +user with Administrator privileges and connect your \dap{}.
