Alex Parker 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

The \playername{} has a built-in bootloader which performs the
firmware update and can also access the hard drive via USB. The
Rockbox bootloader can therefore be very minimalistic, as it does not require
it's own USB mode. This makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader
as you can always restore it using the \playerman{} bootloader.
\note{The Rockbox bootloader overwrites the original firmware, making it
impossible to dual-boot.}
\subsubsection{Installation}
\begin{itemize}
\item Download the Rockbox bootloader binary from
\url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}.
\opt{x5}{Use the \fname{x5v\_fw.bin} file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5
or X5L, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file.}
\opt{m5}{Use the \fname{m5\_fw.bin} file.}
\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your \dap{}.
\end{itemize}
