42ef5b0c88 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.  Patch originally in FS#9895

1b5c32d246 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.

c479b9975d FS #8340 by David Bishop. Remove contractions from the manual, as this seems to be common practice in this format and makes it easier to read for non-native english speakers. New manual work should try to adhere to this.

728dd279eb Revisions to the ipod bootloader installation instructions intended to address some of the more common problems that are being reported in the forums. Among other things (a) describe for Windows users how to navigate to the installation directory, (b) address the -1 error and how to correct it, and (c) be more explicit on how to find the device number and how to use it with ipodpatcher. Also some general cleanup.

19e30840b3 First draft of updates to manual to include the installation instructions for the new ipod bootloader. Still needs a lot of clean-up. Also flipped the installation instructions for the bootloader and the firmware build for all SWCODEC platforms. Instructions for installing the build now come before instructions for installing the bootloader. This should eliminate some confusion from those who tried to boot Rockbox after installing the bootloader but before installing a build, and received the -1 error.
