The dimensions for the EPS images is the bit I don't understand very clearly. When I run 'make pdf' I get an A4 layout, but presumably the EPS has to be sized so that it looks OK on US Letter as well. > > 2) There are a lot of images, which means that organising them is a > > problem in itself.

Looking back through the discussions on screenshots, I found this message from Karsten advising that the functionality was broken: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2004-August/msg00347.html I admit that I didn't experiment much, as I knew that I could get VMWare to produce something workable. Hopefully we can hash out a process for FC4. On my to-do list is trialing QEmu as a VMWare replacement, and that would get around the dependency on non-Free software, even though it's not very a elegant solution. -- Stuart Ellis s.ellis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
