the '0' lecture (programming under linux for the technion student) got the 
'slides' all screwed up - it comes up in a single large html file, with 
the last few paragraphs being a complete mess (no formatting nor new-lines 
- just a set of words from here to eternity) ;)

the 'admin' lecture has a broken link - an extra '"' in the URL of its 
first page. also - alon promised to break it down to slides - it's still 
in one large (story-like) file... 


in the 'installation process' slides:

- slide '5' - the installation on redhat 8.0 changed in this regard, as 
  far as i know. better check with more updated sources how it goes ;)
  not sure it matters so much here, though.

- page '7' - better state a rough number for the size of the linux (root) 
  partition. e.g. "minimum 1Gb, but if you can afford 3-4GB - all the 
  better".

- slide '8' - handling NTFS partitions (which, i think, is commonly used 
  now under windows 2000 and windows XP) is problematic - not sure that 
  even partition magic can handle it properly - can it?

- slide '10' - grup has one very important advantage over lilo - it allows 
  you to define the kernel's file name and its parameters while you're in 
  the grub prompt. with lilo - you have to log into linux, change the 
  config file, and re-run lilo. this fails miserably if you made a mistake 
  and got no working kernel config to load.

- slide '12' - you might want to say that root is "like window's 
  'Administrator' account" - or you might not want to do that.
