No. I don't think it will improve things very much. As I have already said (maybe twice), the cause is the structure rather than the text itself. Marco, I'd like to note one thing. AFAIK, no programmer is really interested in web pages, especially about the design. Probably this is the nature of most programmers, since they are not technically interesting. But web pages are still good means of assisting development. They reduce the cost of development by directing people to right places and they help development itself by attracting more people to the project. Here I don't claim that you should work on web pages, but I claim that *someone* must work on them seriously anyway, and I myself don't want to work on them very much, like you. This might sound arrogant, but I really want someone but me for this kind of work, because it does not require much knowledge about GRUB and I do a lot of legwork for GRUB already. Okuji
