Table has current checksum images, but still needs download links. I've tried out the "hammerhead" system image and it seems to work. Also added ID names to the headings and fixed a couple of typos. As per RobertLy@ 's request, took out the "how to flash" instructions and just sent folks to the devsite page for instructions.
