[Book] Confusing order

Hi

I've just set up a subversion server (using svnserve) while reading
the book and I must say, I find it rather confusing.

While there is a "Quick Start" for SubVersion users, there's none for
admins. You have to collect your bits and pieces from all over the
place. Like, how to install, how to create your first repository
(what layout?) and how to get the user authentication. Oh, it's all
of it mentioned someplace - but not in the order I need it.
So, a Quick Start for someone who must set up and run a SubVersion
repository please.

b) bits of information are simply missing. e.g. Where is that
svnserve.conf I need to add to for user authentication? I had to go
online to figure out "oh, it's the one in the repository"! It has
nothing whatsoever to do with /etc/subversion or the conf in the
user's Home...

So - yes, it's running, but...

Anyway, it was better than nothing, so thanks anyway. Especially for
providing it for free.
