I installed Firebird per your instructions, and that seemed to go ok.
However, when I tried to create the database I got:

  Script started on Wed Sep 11 14:49:40 2002
  shields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: /home/shieldsshields $ /opt/interbase/bin/isql
  Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database

  Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
  -Failed to establish a connection.
  -Connection refused
  SQL> 
  Script done on Wed Sep 11 14:50:26 2002

I got the same result when I replaced 'localhost' with my actual machine name.
By the way, for testing I would prefer to be able to run when disconnected
from the net, and so actually use 'localhost'.

While your instructions are generally quite good, I am dubious about having the
user copy files to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext. I did this last night. After having
some problems trying to fix a bug in svc this morning, I realized that the svc.jar
in $JAVA_HOME/... was being used instead of the one I intended.
(This suggests we should probably not be using svc.jar for both test and production,
and should probably have tsvc use tsvc.jar, not svc.jar.)

Also, CLASSPATH is not used any more, so instructions about adjusting it are
not needed.

I noted a couple of spelling errors:
  coockbook -> cookbook
  Invoque -> invoke
