Hi.

An Debian user reported some small errors in your Partition-HOWTO some
of which seem to be already fixed in the version at
http://www.lissot.net/partition/ though.

Please keep the Debian bug mail address in CC on replies, thanks.

Severity: minor

Found some typos in '/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/Partition.gz'.
Using 'zless -N' for output we see:

    225  By convention, IDE drives will be given device names /dev/hda to /dev/hdd. H
    226 ard Drive A(/dev/hda) is the first drive and Hard Drive C /dev/hdc) is the

..."Hard" shouldn't be split on two lines.

    280 second drive will be /dev/hdb2. The partition type primary (Section 3.3 is

..."3.3" looks like it should be followed by a ")".

    282 until Section 3Section 3.3.

...delete "3Section ".

    346 is due to the use of logical Section 3.4 partitions, which always start with
    347 5, for reasons explained later Section 5.1.3.

        is due to the use of logical partitions (Section 3.4), which always start 
        from "5", for reasons explained later (Section 5.1.3).

    376 one would expect such documentation in  /usr/src/linux/Documentation/scsi.txt
    377 , but it isn't there. One has to look at the driver source to be sure (/usr/
    378 src/linux/driver/scsi/sd.c:184-196). Fortunately, there is Peter Anvin's list

...line #377 begins with a comma, and a file name is split over lines #377-8.
"Fortunately" needs no comma.

Hope this helps...
