[Dxspider-support] DXSpider installation error

[Mikel EA2CW]

Well, you can make this:
- run the git command (the one on line 262 of the script) manually 
before executing the script.

- Comment (#) the line nr 262 of the install_dxspider.sh file (where it 
makes the download)

- Finally, run the fixed script

73, Mikel
