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outdated in about 5 minutes (or less).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every day, so a capture would be very outdated by the time a two week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.
