"Before installing over a Network" Paragraph 4 - Line 4 "Please to the user-ppp [...]" -> "Please _refer_ (?) to the user-ppp [...]" Page 44 - 3.2. "Permissions" Paragraph 2 - Line 2-3 "These permissions are stored as an octet broken into three pieces, one for the owner of the file, one for the group that the file belongs to, and one for everyone else." The wording is confusing. An octet is "a group or set of eight". How can one fit 9 bits in a set of 8?
