Chapter 2 - Question 16 - Paragraph 1: "what manufacturers claim is the “quote” physical geometry" -> Shouldn't there be an “unquote” after "physical geometry"? Or shouldn't "physical geometry" really be between quotation marks? Chapter 2 - Question 25 - Paragraph 1: "The boot blocks think the system is installed on wd1" -> Wasn't wd replaced with ad in 4.0? Shouldn't there be a mention that the problem was solved for 4.0 and higher? Chapter 2 - Question 26 - Paragraph 1: "use 9 chip memory modules vice 18 chip memory modules." -> "vice" ? Were you aiming for "versus" perhaps? Chapter 2 - Question 28 - Paragraph 1: "The maxiumum file size" -> "The _maximum_ file size" Chapter 3 - Question 7 - Paragraph 1: "so the should all look like SCSI disks to FreeBSD" -> "so _they_ (?) should all look like SCSI disks to FreeBSD" Chapter 3 - Question 9 - Paragraph 3: "tell the console driver to use the existence of the USB keyboard." -> "tell the console driver _about_ (?) the existence of the USB keyboard." Chapter 4 - Question 10 - Paragraph 3: "If you next run “make buildworld” again" -> "If you _then_ run “make buildworld” again" Chapter 4 - Question 19 - Paragraph 3: "This situation does not arise in FreeBSD 4.x as has a lot of work has been done to make the it more PnP-centric" -> "This situation does not arise in FreeBSD 4.x as _ a lot of work has been done to make _ it more PnP-centric" remove "has" and "the" Chapter 5 - Question 4 - Paragraph 1: "Xi Graphics and Metro Link sells Accelerated-X product" -> "Xi Graphics and Metro Link _sell_ Accelerated-X product" Chapter 6 - Question 3: The answer doesn't seem relevant to the question but I might be wrong. Chapter 6 - Question 11: "If you want to run some aout applications" -> "If you want to run some _a.out_ applications" "and some aout libs." -> "and some _a.out_ libs." Chapter 8 - Question 21: options SYSVSHM options SYSVSHM # enable shared memory -> Should "options SYSVSHM" appear twice? Chapter 8 - Question 33: "Go into single user mode and than back to multi user mode." -> "Go into single user mode and _then_ back to multi user mode." Chapter 8 - Question 39: "or change the security in /etc/rc.conf then reboot." -> "or change the security _level_ in /etc/rc.conf then reboot." Chapter 10 - Question 23: OK, this one isn't a typo. Isn't dummynet(4) also a bandwidth manager? Chapter 11 - Question 23 - Paragraph 2: "If, as a result of ppps dynamic IP assignment" -> "If, as a result of _ppp's_ dynamic IP assignment" Chapter 13 - Question 1 - Paragraph 2: "when the system is truely idle." -> "when the system is _truly_ idle." Chapter 13 - Question 4 - Paragraph 1: "As people ported unix from this simple system" -> "As people ported _Unix_ from this simple system" "for the early ports of unix" -> "for the early ports of _Unix_" >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
