It work really good with netscape and lynx.... I've mailed it to you. As you will see, there's a large blank margin on the left and on the right, and the two columns of text in the centre overlap each other. I can't see the end of some of the words on the left. Other words appear as a list, but I think that some of those words are supposed to appear together as a single phrase. They don't. The bottom half of the page has no text on the left, only a section to the right of the centre. The four graphics at the bottom are not centred with respect to this text, and are bunched up. On the FreeBSD site these four are nicely spread out over the width of the window, whatever size that window is. These are the things that happen when you try describe screen layout instead of describing the document and letting the client handle it. > I really want to do it right just for you ;-) That's not a good reason :-) Besides, it should be right for anybody. It should not work just for my window, but it should work for every possible window size. > It work for me with > Lynx > Netscape 4.04 (640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 without any trouble.

It seems like the main thing you wanted to do was to put links on the first page which lead to most of the other pages. That is a nice idea, and you've made a very good start on that part of it even though it's impossible for me to see it in its best light at the moment. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
