We have version1.92 now...

Please continue reviewing ...

2.1 I suggest this:

Ethereal is distributed with most free operating systems. If you use a
commercial operating system, or if you would like to get a more recent
version of Ethereal than that supplied with your operating system, you
can:

* Obtain a binary package for your operating system, or

* Obtain the source and build Ethereal for your operating system.

The following are the general steps you would use:

1. Download the relevant package ...
2...
3...

2.2 first note, first sentence, change to:

"If you are building Ethereal from source, you might need to install
several other packages first."

2.2 second note, first sentence, change to:

"If you don't use one of the officially-supported platforms (Windows,
Red Hat Linux / Fedora or Solaris), there are still binary packages
available, but they tend to be  several versions behind the current
released version."

2.3, last paragraph on p.16 of PDF:
"Most Linux systems install GTK+ and Glib by default in any case;
however, you will probably need to ..."

2.8.1 second sentence should be "... informed about new Ethereal
versions. See Section ..."

Should chapter 2 be relegated to an appendix, along with section 1.7?

Appendix D: should we update to version 1.2 of the GFDL?
