Peter, Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure what happened to this message, but I couldn't find this thread until this morning. Very strange. No doubt a network or server glitch of some sort.

We were told to focus on the laptop user when putting the information together, but I don't need to do that in the text itself. > > Page 10. I wouldn't introduce svcadm before > mentioning svcs. Do you think I need a section introducing SMF, svcs and svcadm before the procedure? We we trying to keep things as simple and clean as possible. Another option would be to add a reference chapter that covers these topics. What do you think would be best? > > Page 11/12 modifying NWAM. Step 5.

Step 6, is that > "connect-wifi-e" or "connect-wifi -e"? I think Steff covered most of these issues. There is a space in the source before the -e. There's another one on page 36, so I'm not sure why this one isn't rendering properly. I'll look into it. > > Page 25 Monitoring ZFS disk space.
