[PD] slightly obvious PiDipd install issues under OSX

[derek holzer]

Michael,

you might want to check Sara Kolster's step-by-step instructions for

At the very least, it will tell you how to make your .pdrc file ;-)
It also has some tips for viewing hidden files and a couple of other 
useful Unix commands.
