[PATCH] documentation fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everybody,

here are some small documentation fixes - mostly typing errors.

Please take a look at the last chunk - I think that klibc.bkbits.net 
is no longer the current version, but I'm not sure whether the 
other link is better.


Whom should I CC for other documentation updates? Is the maintainer 
the correct person, or are such small fixes "send and forget"?


Regards,

Phil
