For those interested.

Below is some of the information from APC re some errors on the pocketbook.
You can go to the URL and see more, if you need to.

OpenLinux 2.2-N installation

There is a minor (but quite important) error on page 56 of the Revised
Edition Linux Pocketbook, detailing the installation of LILO directly after
installing Caldera OpenLinux 2.2-N. The fourth paragraph states that you
should press 't' to make a partition active. The command is, in fact, 'a'.

Please make a note of this if you plan to install OpenLinux 2.2-N, and double
check that the only changes you make using fdisk is to make your Linux
partition active. Press '?' at any time to access help on fdisk commands.

Autorun correction

Page 28 says to run the DOS batch file 'autorun' in order to launch the Red
Hat install procedure directly from the CD. The command is, in fact,
'autoboot'.



Cheers
Rick
