[ adding lfs-dev back in, plus opinions ]

I've been playing with the css and the html, specifically

http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/lfs-book-test/chapter05/binutils-pass1.html

I'll post again when I think we're ready for another review.

Worked on this a bit tonight.  It's not completely checked out but this is
what I did:

The nav links are now always on the left.  I repositioned them a little
vertically.  I'm not sure if it's correct for all window sizes.

Got rid of the gradient that was causing the bottom line of nav link titles
to fade.

Locked the body in place so the column with the nav links are always the
same (or reasonably the same).  The body is limited in width and not
centered.  If the window is too large, then the right side margin grows.
Looks pretty OK with the window at about 1000 px.  The right margin starts
looking large at about 1200 px.

I didn't change the boxes in the body, but notice that the corners are
rounded and they have a shaded borders.  Notes have a yellow left thick
border.  Important, Caution, and Warning have a red left thick border.
Contents have a black thick left border.

Table of contents for chapters are centered.   You can only get to them via
the Up command from within a Chapter, but that's true of the current scheme
for LFS, but not for BLFS.

In any case let me know what you think.

I've uploaded some screenshot pngs (resized to 800x600 so that most
people should be able to just click on them and see the whole iamge)
to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/screenshots/

firefox-regular.png : about 1200 pixels wide.  The scrollbar for the
sed is very annoying, it would be much better to drop the right
margin in my opinion and use almost the whole screen apart from the
column which contains the navigation.  A narrow right margin would
be ok.  Also, the Gperf text in the Next link is truncated.

That's interesting. On my system, I don't get that scrolling effect until I increase my font size to 200%. My window is right at 1000 pixels wide. Also at that zoom level, the names of Next/Prev are not displayed.

firefox-small.png : about 960 pixels wide (the sort of thing you
might do on a 1024-wide screen if your desktop has large buttons at
the left for 'Ubuntu app store' etc (my netbook was like that until
I put LFS-7.6 on it).  The right margin actually looks ok here.  But
otherwise it has the same problems.

qupzilla-regular.png : about 1150 pixels wide.  At first I looked at
the top of the page, saw the sed was all visible, took a pic and was
going to say it seeded tolerable.  But then I scrolled down a bit
and saw that the install command still needs a scrollbar.  The links
are ok here, probably a toolkit issue.

toc.png (firefox in an about 1200-pixel window).  To me, the broad
margin makes this look unbalanced (too far to the right).  I would
much prefer if hte text was left-aligned after the navigation
column, perhaps with a narrow margin.

For me, resizing to a 900 pixel wide screen makes very little change.

I am using Seamonkey. When I go to Edit -> Appearance -> Fonts, I have the font size set at 14 pixels. My screen resolution is about 95 dpi.

What are your specs?

I took a couple of snapshots to show what I have. The browser window is about 920 pixels wide and about 1000 pixels high.

http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/snapshots/

There are two versions of each screenshot. The full versions are 1920x1200 and the others are at 50%.
