From 92ee80f40bd2487dcb9193955b7dcb1059b4099a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abdessamad Derraz <3028866+Abdess@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:31:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: describe the card screen and None The installer page says what a card system named on a computer does (Where is the SD card?, Look again, the Card root prompt), that Enter on None unticks every system and Back keeps the ticks, and that Space continues outside a list of ticks. KNULLI and ROCKNIX no longer have a computer default. The first-install page names the card screen. --- wiki/first-install.md | 9 +++++---- wiki/installer.md | 22 +++++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/wiki/first-install.md b/wiki/first-install.md index b2ef663ec..8f61e7a76 100644 --- a/wiki/first-install.md +++ b/wiki/first-install.md @@ -11,8 +11,8 @@ From an empty BIOS folder to games that start. ## 1.
