I just checked my last mail and it seems you fixed almost all bugs I 
found (OK, except the hard line break in the footer, but that's a 
really minor thing.)

However, I didn't do a full check, so I hope you didn't introduce any 
new bugs ;-)

Hmm, why is the logo a JPG file?

Proposal: make it a GIF file [1], and make most white parts transparent. 
This won't fix the problem, but it would more or less hide it ;-) 
because the box border won't be hidden except if the geeko or the 
text "openSUSE" covers it.

To test this, just use the GIF file I have attached to this mail.

What I did to create it is basically:
- open JPG in GIMP
- add alpha channel
- choose the "selection by color" tool, tolerance 5.0
- click the white area
- shrink selection by 1 pixel
- some finetuning to the selection (like excluding whitespace in the
  middle of the logo and straighten out borders)
- sharpen selection to avoid that half-transparent pixels are created
- delete the selected whitespace
- convert to indexed colors, optimized color palette, no dittering
- save as GIF

BTW: The ™ sign isn't really useful in its current size of 3x4 
pixels ;-)  I don't know if it is a legal requirement to put it there, 
but if it isn't, I would remove those 12 pixels.


Regarding scalable font size (as proposed by jdd) I recommend to use

I hope it will contain "Network installation" as additional installation 
media type ;-)

[1] Yes, I know that some people don't like GIF for political reasons,
    but it is the best solution from a technical point of view here.
    (PNG would also be OK, but I'm sure you know about the problems in 
    IE...)
