I see. I did not realize it as I am accustomed to dvorak layout.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, with some other changes, in revision 1.649. Thanks. |
I found two possible mistakes in doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml. (I am not sure if the first is really a mistake. It may come from my poor ability in English.) Here they are: <question id="boot-read-error"> <para>A dialog will pop up requesting the number of cylinders, heads and sectors. Type the numbers found from the BIOS separates by forward slashes. </para> Is the wording of "separates" here gramatically correct? This phrase can be easily understood even without the following example, but I could not figure out what the subject of "separates", and got a little bit confused when translating it. <para>5000 heads, 250 sectors and 60 sectors would be entered as <userinput>5000/250/60</userinput> </para> 5000 cylinders, 250 heads and 60 sectors?
