Noted:

"In order for user root to be able to login and for the name “root” to be recognized, there need to be relevant entries in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files."

Grammatically, it should be

there needs to be (note the s on the end of need)

or

there is a need to have relevant .... (way ugly)

Best would be "there must be relevant entries ...."

To me, the following text needs some work:

"The ideal way to populate /dev is to mount a ramfs onto /dev, like tmpfs, and create the devices on there during each bootup."

I can't make heads or tails from this text. My initial reading is that tmpfs should be somehow mounted onto /dev. This can't be right. It seems the text is just a bunch of fluff.

Knowing better, I defer that the mention of tmpfs is simply a mention to text a long time ago in the book. Is it even necessary to mention this?

Then we have the issue of "on there during each bootup". This makes no sense. What is "on there"?

I could provide more text if anyone is interested, however, the text currently in the book could use some polishing.

Noted in the description for 'mtrace':

"Reads and interprets a memory trace file and ouputs a summary in human-readable format"
