If "console console-mode" is intentional, perhaps it could be
rephrased? I can't for the life of me figure out what this is
supposed to mean.

Just out of curiosity, does it do anything different if an 'lpr'
command isn't on the system during compilation, or is it mostly
a run-time thing.

Never mind, you know what I'm going to say. We did vote on the
matter however, and there was a distinct preference within the
community. :-)

Two things:

perhaps s/is/it/ ?

There is no such thing as its'. It is either its or it's.

Can't is a contraction. needs an apostrophe. Personal preference
for me is cannot however.

Normal user is a very vague term. I believe 'unprivileged' is used
consistently throughout the book (we may have missed some when there
was a bulk change for this exact thing).

You have Directories (plural) and only one installed directory. Most
places in the book would say "Installed Directory".
