Hi all....

I've recently started to work on a XBMC manual and soon discovered it is so rich in options that I had to write 2 manuals... A Beginners Guide, and an advanced guide...

I'm currently working on the beginners manual and would like your feedback.
I've just working on it 2 days ago, so it's far from complete.
I'm going to include how to install XBMC, install some skins (including aeon), some plugins like LLC Lyrics, subtitles, Home Theater Experience, etc...
So far, I'm almost done with the setup part..

Feedback please?

You can download it HERE. PDF File (hosted by RapidHost)
or here. PDF File (hosted by vanOert.)

*** UPDATE January 22nd ***
There will be one more update on monday night where i show you the latest progress... That will be version 0.4. After that it's gonna be quiet for a week or so because i have implemented all kinds of changes that you guys haven't seen yet and are still being suggested. That's my fault ofcourse, not yours..
Thanks for your incredible feedback, This project will not die, cross my heart... Just give me a week or two to finish it...
Like i said before, it's a VERY raw version, artwork will be redone as well as phrasing, grammar etc. etc.. I just want to write the context in its whole first before i start re-writing and move stuff around...

*** UPDATE January 28th ***
Been extremely busy last week and the free time I did have got lost on personal well being ;-)... I'm working on it again and have made some good progress. The earlier release date of 1st of February will not be met. New release date for Valentine's day?

*** UPDATE March 20th ***

My sincere apologees for keeping you guys waiting for so long... I've been extremely busy last few weeks. I live as a foreigner in Thailand and live isn't always as easy as you'd like it to be... On the other hand, sometimes it's pure heaven... I haven't worked on the manual for a while but to stop you guys from worrying I've uploaded the most recent changes.... I've also decided to make a Video Installation Guide and post them on You Tube. Nothing new will be revealed in those, but they are faster and easier to make. No hassling around with screenshots and placeholders and so on...
Anyway, I haven't read it, just posted it, so beware of lots of typo's. Next weekend another update will be posted...
