Well, as in our designers mind manual content was more important, he took in higher, and the path and other links are at the bottom. This is because we also had a survey on window sizes, and it turned out, that many guys use the manual in small windows, and they are interested in the manual content, rather then the navigational parts. So it does seemed to be conflicting to leave the navigation as it was there, and still make more manual content visible in a small window. This does not mean of course, that this is the best decision, I am not against any change that makes the manual useable. > As for point #1 (Purpose/Usage/Availability): I believe the manual > should serve both experienced and inexperienced users.

I still would like to see other opinions on these topics, before I make any modifications to manual layout... BTW I never said, that this manual should be only used by experienced guys, I just tried to show the point where I am looking from at the manual. Goba
