Two tiny typos in Breezy Ubuntu Installation Guide

Hi,
First a question: Do I get any karma in Launchpad
for finding tiny, tiny typos in old documentation? ;-)
No? C'est la vie.
Anyway, I hope I'm not repeating something that's already been
noticed and taken care of. Just so it doesn't creep into later
documentation, I thought it might be worth mentioning. In the
"Ubuntu Installation Guide" distributed on the Edubuntu
CD, "Section 6.3.2.1. Partitioning Your Disks" has an
awfully big swap partition on hdb... And while we're on
the subject, partition #7 is also larger than the physical
disk. ;-) (Change hdb7 and hdb8 partitions from "G" to "M"
and everything should add up close to 80 GB.)
(From /doc/install/manual/en/ch06s03.html#di-partition)
IDE1 master (hda) - 6.4 GB WDC AC36400L
#1 primary 16.4 MB ext2 /boot
#2 primary 551.0 MB swap swap
#3 primary 5.8 GB ntfs
pri/log 8.2 MB FREE SPACE
IDE1 slave (hdb) - 80.0 GB ST380021A
#1 primary 15.9 MB ext3
#2 primary 996.0 MB fat16
#3 primary 3.9 GB xfs /home
#5 logical 6.0 GB ext3 /
#6 logical 1.0 GB ext3 /var
#7 logical 498.8 GB ext3
#8 logical 551.5 GB swap swap
#9 logical 65.8 GB ext2
(I assume this is an appropriate place to report typos, etc.
If not, sorry 'bout that, and please let me know where to
report stuff. Also, if that's already been reported, where
would I find it?)
