	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


Confirmed errors:


(xii) The index page number should be I-1.


(1-2) para. 2:  "Bundling lets you to select only the components..."
should be "Bundling allows you to select only the components..."


{2-105} The last line of code under "Examples" reads:

	tar cvf -'find . -print' > backup.tar

Should read:

	tar cvf backup.tar


(16-7) Above the table of Greek characters in eqn:
 
"Some uppercase Greek letters are not supported because they can be
specified by an Arabic equivalent (e.g. A for alpha, B for beta)."
 
You're getting your letters and your numbers confused. 1,2,3, etc. are
Arabic; A, B, C, etc. are Roman or Latin (opinions vary). 


(I-14) Index, reads:

	sleep command, 2-96

Should read:

	sleep command, 2-95
