    It's all command prompt, so the instructions basically are screenshots. Just make sure that when it asks a question like:

    "You like Chuck Norris, yes or no?"

    You type 'YES' rather than 'y', that causes huge problems for a lot of people.

    Trouble is, I was raised on old school dos. I mean literally from the first grade, I was using dos. Unfortunately for me, even back then, almsot every dos program and prompt accepted 'y' instead of yes. Even most unix code now accepts it.

    The trouble is, this one little program doesn't. For the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. So I kept double checking my work thus far, turning off the pc, verifying connections, configurations, jumpers, etc. I mean this was ridiculous. I double and triple checked every single step, piece by piece, retrying after every check. I would estimate that I lost a good 60-90 minutes to a simple user error; because I completely overlooked the letters 'es'. It's so weird and aggrivating to lose so much time to such a simple problem, after having becoime a master of soldering, 'chipping, video editing, 3d modeling, and various computer tweaking. It felt like being leonardo da vinci with a brain fart.

    I wonder how drastically the number of threads on this would decrease if the future versions had that changed.... I think it'd be a lot. I've had numerous private messages related to that one little thing.
