Here's a key to the markup:

        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


(47) There is a typo on page 47 under "Getting Linux via Mail Order or 
Other Hard Media". Last sentence of 2nd para 

	"If this is the cas ..."

It should read:

	"If this is the case ..."


(80) In the last paragraph: 

	'can hang the entire system when they auto-probed' 

should be: 

	'can hang the entire system when they are auto-probed'


(118)  Items 6 and 7 in the list, ".Xdefaults" and ".xinitrc";
Both of these point to sections in Chapter 10, "The X Resource Database" 
and "Basics of X Customization".  Those two sections are actually in 
chapter 11.

(I wonder if other items in this list might need the same kind of fix?)


(291)Second paragraph: 

	in my mind

should read:

	in mind


(405) In the fourth paragraph, change: 

	"browsable" 

to:

	"browseable"


(510) In the first line, add the word "login" in Courier bold to 
the end of the line.


(615) In the 1st paragraph: 

	'succesful' 

should be: 

	'successful'


(615) 5th paragraph "X does does" there should be only one 'does'.


(624) In the 2nd from last paragraph: 

	'or updating or maintain the programs' 

should be: 

	'or updating or maintaining the programs'


(730) Change the index entry:

	"XF86Config program" 

to:

	 "XF86Config file"
