They are (static manual and errata pieces) available on separate pages, in dynamic forms, but creating a static version of the errata would be outdated in about 5 minutes (or less). The source for the complete manual itself is available via CVS, however, the notes themselves are db-driven. You could use some form of intelligent spider (such as wget) to pull in the various pages, for a static capture, but please be aware that there are often between 5 and 200 changes to the manual (with errata) every day, so a capture would be very outdated by the time a two week class finished. I'd recommend that you use live pages instead. -Ronabop -- Brought to you from iBop the iMac, a MacOS, Win95, Win98, LinuxPPC machine, which is currently in MacOS land. Your bopping may vary.
