A suggestion for simplifying some of the steps in documentation.

Where the steps require creation of a single line file (like in the
recent one to handle plugging in a USB audio device) you can make it
into a one line for copy/paste rather than having to open and editor and
having to write all of the commands to save/exit or even installation of
nano.

For example Step 2 in the recent set changes from:

Code:
--------------------
    Step 2
  Type sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-DAC.rules and paste this string:
  
  
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxxx", 
ATTR{idProduct}=="yyyy", RUN+="/home/tc/DAC.sh"
  
  where xxxx and yyyy are what you found in the previous step.
  
  Press control o to save and control x to exit.
  
--------------------


to:

Code:
--------------------
    Copy this string:
  echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxxx", 
ATTR{idProduct}=="yyyy", RUN+="/home/tc/DAC.sh"' | sudo tee 
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-DAC.rules
  and replace xxxx and yyyy are what you found in the previous step
  then enter it into your ssh session.
  
--------------------


The single quote around the string is needed because of the double
quotes in the expression. If there was a real single quote in the
expression then I expect it would have to be escaped with \'
