 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.
