UNCONFIRMED errors:


{69} The second sentence of the 5th paragraph states that the initialization 
parameter "applies to both instance recovery and media recovery." The 
initialization parameter actually only applies to instance recovery. The 
README.doc file located in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/doc states that the Oracle online
documentation incorrectly states that this parameter also applies to media 
recovery. 


{183}  Under 3rd paragraph;
The SQL listed reads:
select * from v$sysstat where statistic#='DBWR cross instance writes';

It should read :
the SQL listed says 
select * from v$sysstat where name = 'DBWR cross instance writes';
