Page 123, "... you need to know your device ...  To do that, you need to look at the output from dmesg."

Perhaps a little more guidance could be given as to what we need to "look at"?  dmesg(8) produces a lot of output that is not relevant to identifying the device name.  The install scripts seem to know what to display from the dmesg output.  How about a description of what they use to construct that display?

Page 124, "The display look much like what you see in Figure 6-1." perhaps should be, "The display should look ..."
Page 128, "After the installation is complete, you are free to close the term window."

And what should we do if we used the boot install option?

Page 131, "Customization of the boot-up process is possible by adding variable when prompted, ..." perhaps should be "... by adding values ...".

It also seems this information is more fully explained in the previous paragraph.  Perhaps this sentence needs to be incorporated into that paragraph?

Page 133, "Using a LiveCD to Boot a Pen Drive".  It appears this section assumes the pen drive was created in the USB-HDD format.  Perhaps that should be noted in the opening paragraphs.
