My reference is book.pdf:

Page 26 - 2.2.1.6. "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?


Page 101

"# Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocated.
pseudo-device loop # Network loopback"

how many units to _allocate_
