The instructions to build the operating system are http://new.linuxowl.com/ffs/building-guide/ and the configuration guide is http://new.linuxowl.com/ffs/configuration-guide/ and all the source documents are in http://new.linuxowl.com/ffs/. The last two documents I decided to split up from one document and they are still incomplete and are still very much in progress.
My intention is to produce a printable documentation so I used LyX (A front end to LaTeX) to write the documentation, which, in turn, prints it or produces a pdf. (Actually this is why I didn't pay much attention to the size of the photos). Then I used latex2html on the latex document for the web pages and with this tool it's easy to add a bottom navigation menu but I'm not sure if it's possible to have a bottom menu only when the page is long. I must admit that the user guide was written as impersonally as possible, so no mention of "fun" :-) Thanks for the comments, I'm happy to receive any comments, and I copied the reply to the list, hope you don't mind. Oh, by the way, the OS is Linux From Scratch. And the build scripts are in the http://www.linuxowl.com/ffs/config/ directory.
