On my netbook (1024x600) in firefox it looked good - just a quick look, checked glibc in chapter 6 for note and important and I liked both of those and also the fixed central-ish links to Prev and Next, but on a desktop (1600x1200 screen, but the firefox window is something like 1340 pixels wide and 850 high) in the text is *tiny* and *paler* (light blue instead of dark blue), and selected links from the index get an indistinct underline instead of changing to a purple-ish colour. The headline '5 Constructing a temporary system' now occupies about 63mm of width instead of about 109mm. Similarly, the text on pages for each package is too small (this is from just opening the page and taking the size as it comes). I guess that I normally use a bigger font in firefox. The font as-it-comes is too feint for me on my desktop - if I Ctrl-+ twice to get a bigger font I can again read it, but the links then all move to the left and 'Prev' and 'Next' (blue) are still faint : from glibc, the text of the link 'Manpages-4.01' is readable with difficulty, as is the first line of 'Adjusting the' but 'Toolchain' is on a line below that and fainter. For me, this will make it very hard to use when editing. If I have the option, NAK to version 1 - I like the new icons, but not the forced (?) text colours and what seems to be a forced size. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
