c200 documentation/install suggestion

(1/1)

KernelPanic:
I was curious why the installation instructions (http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansac200/rockbox-buildch2.html) suggested you download a sansapatcher utility program, and that program isn't included in the c200 build.  Wouldn't it make more sense to distribute this in the zip file?  Also why no installation instructions in the zip?

GodEater:
Because the sansapatcher program is only required the first time you install Rockbox. Upgrades to Rockbox only require the contents of the zip file.

So we limit the amount of bandwidth we burn (already a lot) by not sending stuff over and over that's only required by the user once.

Same reason for the installation instructions.

scharkalvin:
Also, because the instructions have you unzip the file IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY of the DEVICE.  You don't want to put the sansapatcher.exe in the sansa itself!!!!!

Actually there are a few other files in the zip that don't belong in the sansa either, like the entire doc directory for example.
