I like it the the "other" install guide has comments in the example .dsl. Very helpful!

I might add that

path/to/gfxutil -f GFX0

does not work, at least not on High Sierra. However,

path/to/gfxutil -f display

works.

Also, even though it might seem superfluous at this point in hackintoshing, I am convinced that it wouldn't hurt to mention where to eventually put that aml file.
