Chapter 5, page 99: Step 4 talks about a directory /var/tmp/vmware- linux-tools, then refers to cd /var/tmp/vmware-tools-linux. Transpose the words "tools" and "linux" in the latter command.

Chapter 9, page 159: The RFC 1918 netmask for 172.16.0.0 is actually 255.240.0.0, not 255.255.0.0. However, note that 172.16.0.0/16 is a subset of 172.16.0.0/12, so if you set up a network based on the netmask in the book, you won't have any trouble.
