I spent the evening familiarising myself with the book, and while I was
doing that I used the opportunity to do a bit of cleaning up. Attached
is a patch for several typos within the book. I also noticed that
neither HTTP nor FTP links work for Amarok and it contains a command
error, it should be --enable-postgresql rather than --enable-postresql.
This is by no means a complete list so I'm sure more will be fixed soon.
