Doco - update dav2fs instructions. That should never have worked,
but now it actually doesn't work.

-**Installing The Cloud as a Filesystem on Linux**
-
-To install your cloud directory as a filesystem, you first need davfs2 installed. 99% of the time, this will be included in your distributions repositories. In Debian
-
-`apt-get install davfs2`
-
-If you want to let normal users mount the filesystem
-
-`dpkg-reconfigure davfs2`
-
-and select "yes" at the prompt.
-
-Now you need to add any user you want to be able to mount dav to the davfs2 group
-
-`usermod -aG davfs2 {{DesktopUser}}`
-
-Edit /etc/fstab
-
-`nano /etc/fstab`
-
-to include your cloud directory by adding
-
-`example.com/cloud/{{Username}} /mount/point davfs user,noauto,uid={{DesktopUser}},file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1`
-
-Where {{Username}} is your username at your Red hub, example.com is the URL of your hub, /mount/point is the location you want to mount the cloud, and {{DesktopUser}} is the user you log in to one your computer. Note that if you are mounting as a normal user (not root) the mount point must be in your home directory.
-
-For example, if I wanted to mount my cloud to a directory called 'cloud' in my home directory, and my username was bob, my fstab would be
-
-`example.com/cloud/ /home/bob/cloud davfs user,noauto,uid=bob,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1`
-
-Now, create the mount point.
-
-`mkdir /home/bob/cloud`
-
-and also create a directory file to store your credentials
-
-`mkdir /home/bob/.davfs2`
-
-Create a file called 'secrets'
-
-`nano /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets`
-
-and add your cloud login credentials
-
-`example.com/cloud {{username}} {{password}}`
-
-
-Where {{username}} and {{password}} are the username and password for your hub.
-
-Don't let this file be writeable by anyone who doesn't need it with
-
-`chmod 600 /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets`
-
-Finally, mount the drive.
-
-`mount example.com/cloud/{{username}}`
-
-You can now find your cloud at /home/bob/cloud and use it as though it were part of your local filesystem - even if the applications you are using have no dav support themselves.
