Guys, I am doing a Russian translation of this document and I come to what I 
believe is unfinished phrase. In the "Troubleshooting" chapter first section, 
first paragraph, first phrase reads like this:
"If the netboot server is a Gentoo/LINUX system and experience problems
installing the rarpd and tftpd packages, please search http://forums.gentoo.org
and <uri>http://bugs.gentoo.org</uri> to see if this problem has been 
encountered by anyone else.".
I believe that this phrase is incomplete, because it doesn't make sense.
The author might have missed the word "it": "... and IT experience 
problems...". Please check with an author on this.
It's the same document, so I didn't create a new bug...

Thank you.

it is correct grammatically, however, experience should have an s on the end

fixed a few line-wrapping problems while i was at it

fixed
