Hi all, Lately I've been noticing in the book that there is a huge amount of Note Warning and Caution boxes on the various pages. Some of them for rather trivial things.
I mention this because I'm starting to be distracted by them as I "read" the book. To me, they break the flow of reading the text. I find it now more comfortable to me to read text in a paragraph instead of in a separated box. I'm thinking that I've: 1. now been exposed to BLFS for too long to really pass effective judgment on what the average reader expects. 2. worried too much that the average reader would think it is "babyish", or "lowly" to have such trivial points displayed in a separated box instead of just in a following sentence of the previous thought (some of the notes would be converted to a stand-alone paragraph where the box currently is). 3. just plain come to dislike them because I feel they are too gaudy. I know that #3 is an issue with me. Thoughts from others would really be appreciated. (note that I do think some of the boxes are needed due to the potential harm a mistake could create, and/or time spent fixing if you goof) I just think we're overdoing it a bit. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 18:50:00 up 18:41, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.17, 0.22 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
