Error in "Errata" for Tiger version ?

The errata entry for chapter 10
states it is to be added at "top of page".
Which page ? (Which chapter perhaps ?)

Its content states, that "the" right hand column of the Applications LIST
lists whether the program is Universal or Power PC. It does not.

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 is updated beyond ,11 and later than 12/11/11.

Never-all-else Your "Missing" books are GREAT !

Entire page is missing--book has page 361 repeated instead page

The section on Stickies is missing the entire page 367. Pages 366 and 368 are fine.

What appears instead is a repeat of page 361.

Printed Page 389-390
bottom half 389 & top half of 390

Backing up /creating image (.dmg file) of entire hard drive.

Pages 389-390 imply/state that using Apple's Disk Utility it's possible
to image the start-up disk. I tried many times yesterday in different ways
and always got the error message "Resource Busy". AppleCare was not very
helpful, saying I couldn't do it. I tried again, this time booting from
Install Disk #1 (10.4.x) & running Disk Utility. I was able to get it to
work. I suggest you modify pp. 389-390 for when users want to image/backup
their root HD. I'm using 10.4.7 on a 1.67GHz G4 PB.

Last paragraph.

Text reads (2nd line / at '('): (or, alternatively, Control-click the .dmg icon and choose Burn from the shortcut menu).

The choice 'Burn' does not appear at all.
