   SD card datalogger
  
  This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors 
- to an SD card mounted on the Arduino Yun using the Bridge library.
+ to an SD card mounted on the Arduino Yún using the Bridge library.
  	
  The circuit:
- * analog sensors on analog ins 0, 1, and 2
- * SD card attached to SD card slot of the Arduino Yun
+ * analog sensors on analog pins 0, 1 and 2
+ * SD card attached to SD card slot of the Arduino Yún
+ 
+ Prepare your SD card creating an empty folder in the SD root 
+ named "arduino". This will ensure that the Yún will create a link 
+ to the SD to the "/mnt/sd" path.
  
  You can remove the SD card while the Linux and the 
  sketch are running but be careful not to remove it while
