Hi,
Nice work!
I made some fixes to this and uploaded a revised patch here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~manolis/patches/virtualization-virtualbox-chapter-patch-new.txt
<http://people.freebsd.org/%7Emanolis/patches/virtualization-virtualbox-chapter-patch-new.txt>
and a build (without images) here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~manolis/patches/virtualization-guest.html
<http://people.freebsd.org/%7Emanolis/patches/virtualization-guest.html>
Main changes are:
- Use passive voice in some places to avoid "you" references
- Improve markup in several places (filenames, devices, man pages etc).
There maybe also a few other places (i.e. vboxvideo_drv should probably
not be tagged using <command>)
- Some minor language fixes to match the Handbook style in general
This also needs a complete whitespace patch on top, but this can wait
until any remaining issues are fixed. Please post followups to this if
you have any comments.
