−=== Using a DVD ===
+=== Using a drivechip ===
−This method requires a [[drivechip]] and a DVD, and won't work with the [[June16 update|3.3 firmware update]] or newer. DVD images are currently unavailable, though you can build beta8 yourself (source code [https://github.com/fail0verflow/hbc/blob/master/pywii/pywii-tools/injectdol.py here]) and then update. This method is not recommended, due to the requirement of hardware modification that could [[brick]] your Wii.
+# Install your [[drivechip]] into the Wii hardware.
+# Build the installer and burn it onto your DVD.
+# Put the DVD into the game disc slot.
+# Launch "the homebrew channel installer" on the [[Disc Channel]].
+# The installer should now run. The system will reboot when it is finished, and the homebrew channel should be installed.
+# ''(Optional)'' If you are connected to the internet, a dialog should show up asking about updating the channel. Press "Yes."
