serverguide: problems in the virtualization chapter

[Gabor Kelemen]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

While translating the serverguide, I found the following problems in the virtualization section (https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html):

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:36(para)
If nothing is printed, it means that your cpu does <emphasis>not</emphasis> support hardware virtualization.
- should be CPU

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:40(para)
On most computer whose processor supports virtualization, it is necessary to activate an option in the bios to enable it. The method described above does not show the status of it's activation.
-should be BIOS

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:443(para)
With vmbuilder, there is no need to download a JeOS ISO anymore. vmbuilder will fetch the various package and build a virtual machine tailored for our need in about a minute for us. Vmbuilder is a Script
- should not use "our" and "us", but "your" and "you"

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:455(para)
First introduced as a shell script in Ubuntu 8.04LTS
-8.04 LTS

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:723(programlisting)
--part PATH\n
  Allows to specify a partition table in partfile each line of partfile should specify\n
  (root first):\n
      mountpoint size\n
  where size is in megabytes. You can have up to 4 virtual disks, a new disk starts on a\n
  line with ’---’. ie :\n
-This is copypasted from vmbuilder --help, and besides being ugly, it's hard to get the meaning (I guess I should report this there too :)). The partfile refers to a file, and PATH is the path of this file - this is not obvious from this string. So, the second sentence could say something like:
"Allows you to specify a partition table in a partition file, located at PATH. Each line of the partition file should specify\n"

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:809(command)
sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite intrepid --flavour virtual --arch i386 \\ -
o --libvirt qemu:///system --ip 192.168.0.100 --part vmbuilder.partition \\
--user user --name user --pass default
---intrepid is a bit obsolete here

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:833(para)
This is done using vmbuilder by specifying the --addpkg command multiple times:
--addpkg is not a command, rather a switch (or option?)

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:897(para)
When vmbuilder creates builds your system,
(...)
or using a caching proxy such as <application>apt-cache</application>.
--The next string instructs the user to issue: sudo apt-get install apt-proxy - so the <application> here should be apt-proxy too.

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:931(para)
The mirror address specified here will also be used in the <filename>/etc/
apt/source.list</filename> of the newly created guest, so it is usefull to
--should be "sources.list" and "useful"

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:1149(command)
sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite intrepid
--intrepid again?

#: serverguide/C/virtualization.xml:1291(para)
Be sure to replace <emphasis>nodecontroller</emphasis>, <emphasis>node01</emphasis>, and <emphasis>node02</emphasis> with actual hostnames.
- this is at the bottom of https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/eucalyptus.html but this page does not mention any of nodecontroller, node01 and node02 - the whole sentence is unnecessary.
