Yep, that's the place. I apologize that the chapters are listed in
alphabetical order but until the technical issues are resolved they are
listed alphabetically. Which actually is pretty easy for authoring, hee hee.
But not so much for reading. :)

Is anyone willing to document this non-easy task as a section in the
Updating chapter? Or if someone outlines the basics on the OLPC wiki, and

Ok, got it. Thanks for that clarification. :) Is anyone willing to document
this task as a section in the Updating chapter?

Thanks, all. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.
