The only reason that works is due to bug in NS4. When you turn off JavaScript, CSS is disabled too (even though CSS is marked as enabled in the preferences screen). -- Cameron Moore [ If God was a perl hacker: ($child = 'grave') =~ s/v/c/; ] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Re: [Flightgear-devel] New manual available.
Michael and Martin have sent me an updated version of the Installation and Getting Started Guide: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/ Thanks for the kind announcement. The 'European' website mirror - I believe it's the only one around here :-) - is up to date. You might want to read it from there. Please don't shoot us for some shortcomings in the text layout, this will be fixed until official release, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I learned several new things myself. :-) First, Michael and Martin have done a fabulous job. Kudos to both of you for a job well done. Please take a moment to read through it if you can and send Michael or Martin and suggestions or fixes. Only little stuff can be fixed for 0.7.9 but larger suggestions can be considered for subsequent releases. I've looked through some of the manual today (don't tell my boss ;-). Here's some notes (I converted the PDF to Postscript, so the page numbers may be off): - p29: I believe binaries are also shipped with SuSE Linux, though I don't think you need to discuss how to install them. - p62: first line reads Alls this project goes back Need to rephrase that to make sense. :-) How about The FlightGear project goes back - p65: the operational radio stack section seems out of place. IMO it should come later to keep the items in chronological order. - p71: my entry needs two changes: I would prefer to use cameron at unbeatenpath.net in that situation, and the word administration needs to be administrator. - p75: Section A.3 starts out with At first:. I think that can be removed. In the same sentence, I'd change until this point to up to this point. I'd start the second paragraph with Despite the current set of features, or Despite all of the progress so far,. Hmm, I'm finding stuff left and right. I'm going to have to be a good husband tonight, but I will try to make a point to read through some more of this and send any revisions to Michael.
