Typos in installation guide



Hi,
I just spotted a few typos in the English version of the manual;
in case anyone wanted to do the same here's how I've done it

  for file in $(find  -name "*.xml") ; do
          aspell list --lang=en --encoding=utf-8  < ${file} >> unkn.txt
  done
  
  sort unkn.txt | uniq -c > aa.txt
  mv aa.txt unkn.txt

I'm not sure if the following are typos or not:

- appendix/plip.xml:ifconfig <replaceable>plip0 192.168.0.2</replaceable> pointopoint <replaceable>

is it "pointtopoint" ?

- install-methods/floppy/m68k.xml:You'll find the &rawwrite.ttp; program

is it "rawrite" ?

I'm pretty sure about the typos fixed with the attached patch,
regards,

Davide
