Along the same lines and in the same (cautious, but happy) spirit of the last post (pertaining to the RHCSA portion of the 'RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide (Exams EX200 & EX300)') please note the following (shorter list of) items encountered in 'RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Linux Certification Practice Exams with Virtual Machines (Exams EX200 & EX300)'; items which are more like questions/suggestions are pre-pended with a '?' character & stylistic issues are similarly demarcated...
p2: "...from other Practice Exams book in the ..." -> "...books in the..."
p5: "...help manage their enterprises of Linux systems..." -> "...Linux systems in their enterprise..." OR "...manage their enterprises (of Linux systems)..."
//p6: "The topics in the Red Hat preparation courses in a few areas go beyond those..."
(p14
"...of that baseline system that can be..." OR ("...a baseline..." OR "...system - mentioned earlier - that...")
p22: "If you're installing RHEL6 in most VMs..." -> "...RHEL6, in most..."
[p25: "Here's how it looks..."]
? p41/45 Network interfaces (per 26/27 & 32) cannot access packages (e.g. FTP) w/o masquerading; as network configuration occurs later (Ch. 3?) create/configure different adapter...?
p58: (Lab 3) Chapter 1, Figure 1-3 -> Figure 1-2
? p58/59: (Lab 3) boot.iso not included with RHEL6 (6.6) - alternate instructions?
p69: "As the Red Hat exams tests your ability -> ("...exams test..." OR "...(collection of) Red Hat...")
p69: "...just configuration tools." -> "...just (use of) configuration tools." OR "...tools use."
? p76: (Lab 7) "...disable IP forwarding." -> 'Edit'->'Connection Details'->'Virtual Networks' & 'Stop Network' "default"? (or create substitute network?)
? p77: "List and identify SELinux file and process context." -> "...contexts."
p87: "just" v/s "exclusively"
Ch4 (Lab 5) "(3) Run the following command to give a password to that user with the 'passwd testuser' command. Set the password to : 'rhprof'" -> "Run the 'passwd testuser' command to give..."
? p91/92: As 'nmap localhost' & 'nmap <localhost_non127_IP>' from the same host yield different outputs the question of needing to know more about loopback & tools for RHCSA certification seems to arise; Lab 4 elucidates quite a bit but tool output won't exactly match the examples (further explanation warranted?)
p106: System recommendation for lab exercises may reduce discrepancy (e.g. 'blackhat' does not have 'abrt*' services - but no further discrepancies)
p107: Use of 'root=/dev/vda2' does not result in successfully booting system
p130: "All you need is a file named file.repo in the '4/etc/yum.repos.d' directory." -> '/etc/yum.repos.d'
? p136: "If successful..." (Nothing in 'yum update' output indicates success; other means, e.g. 'yum clean all; yum update', might be more revealing...?)
p139: "One implicit part of this objective is the way..." -> "...knowing the way...." OR "...learning the way..."
p160: Add 'init 2' condition? (Use of KVM seems to cause... complexity... with the 'vncserver' command)
Also, one additional matter concerns whether Kickstart requires a port/set of ports to be opened; use of both books ('Study Guide' & 'Practice Exams') & transition between them is otherwise O.K. (i.e. following the instructions sequentially is without issue)...
