>Description:
Read Chapter 10 of the on-line version of The FreeBSD Handbook, found 
the following typos.  URLs are references to the WWW pages on which 
the errors were found.

-------------

URL: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/quotas.html

"Even though that man page says that you can specify an 
alternate location for the quota files, this is not 
recommended since all of the various quota utilities do not 
seem to handle this properly."

It would be more grammatically correct to phrase the second 
half of this as "this is not recommended because the 
various quota utilities do not all seem to handle this 
properly." 

Strictly interpreted, "all of the ... utilities do not"
means "_none_ of the utilities do".

-------------

URL http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x8613.html
Section 10.2. Setting Quota Limits 

"The following is an example of what you might see when 
you run then edquota command."

The word "then" should be "the".

-------------

Same URL 
URL http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x8613.html
Same Section

In the text, shouldn't the following example of changing 
a line in a config file be formatted so that each line of 
text is in fact a single line?

     /usr: blocks in use: 65, limits (soft = 50, hard =
          75)

  to: 

       /usr: blocks in use: 65,
          limits (soft = 500, hard = 600)

-----------

That's all for Chapter 10.
