 You will be mounting your Didj as a USB drive, and replacing the /Base/bin/AppManager binary with a shell script, and adding emerald-boot_DIDJ.bin in the same folder.
-First you'll need to create the shell script, AppManager. Make sure you don't give it the extension .sh. There are two things to configure in this script. Both are on the line starting with mtd_debug. First is 0x48001, this is the filesize in hex format. Make sure you change this if it differs for your emerald-boot_NAND.bin file. Also, insure the path name is correct, it should be the full path to your emerald boot file. Which on the Device is /Didj/Base/bin/<filename> Don't forget the Didj/ part.

 Plug in the USB and power on your Didj and open OpenLFConnect

 The Didj will then power down. Unplug the USB and power it back up. It will again shut itself down. Turn it on again and the emerald boot screen should appear. Emerald-boot will panic since there is no kernel for it to find on the NAND. You can boot a surgeon.cbf file from here if you like
-  boot_surgeon path/to/surgeon.cbf
+  $ boot_surgeon path/to/surgeon.cbf
 If you have console access you can use it to configure networking, or you can compile your own surgeon with changed networking, as the Explorer and LeapPad surgeon networkings depend on a serial number that is not on the Didj.

 Extract the contents of the Patch and Source Code archives. Move inside the source folder, you should see emerald-boot, linux-2.6, etc. Copy packages/ from the patch archive to the source folder, along with host_tools/. If you get complaints during the build about not finding images, it is more than likely because of these two folders. Test the patch.
-  patch --dry-run -p1 < path/to/emerald-boot-supplement_v2.2.2.patch
+  $ patch --dry-run -p1 < path/to/emerald-boot-supplement_v2.2.2.patch
 If everything goes okay, apply it
-  patch -p1 < path/to/emerald-boot-supplement_v2.2.2.patch
+  $ patch -p1 < path/to/emerald-boot-supplement_v2.2.2.patch
 You can now build it. Make sure your environment variables are set up, per the build environment tutorial, and compile
-  DIDJ=1 ./install.sh
+  $ DIDJ=1 ./install.sh
 This will build Emerald Boot for the Didj, if you would like to test it using UART and micromon add MICRO=1 to the command line.
