I'll tell you what Hans,

I'll go to the not inconsiderable trouble of:

1) Find a spare computer
2) Find a copy of Ubuntu 10.04 or whatever
3) Take a complete set of screenshots of the facility to size the page
   to selection
4) Make the screenshots available to the list

I'll do all that if you promise to put back the functionality that the
screenshots reveal.
