Musician's guide on the Spin (and other links)

[Brendan Jones]

I was poking around the kickstarts for some of the other spins to see 
what they are doing in addition to the normal live CD's.

One thing that stood out was this from the Design Spin. It creates a 
desktop entry in the %post section which is simply an internet link. We 
could do the same for the Musicians guide rather than having to package it:

# Add link to the Inkscape Course
cat >> /usr/share/applications/inkscape-course.desktop << FOE
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Introduction To Inkscape
GenericName=Inkscape Course
Comment=Materials from Máirín Duffy's Inkscape Class
Exec=xdg-open http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Introduction_To_Inkscape
Type=Application
Icon=fedora-logo-icon
Categories=Graphics;Documentation;
FOE
chmod a+x /usr/share/applications/inkscape-course.desktop




For those who are interested I was simple browsing through the accepted 
spins here:

Good idea. We can include links to other documentation and content 
stores, too.

Yes, that is good and very useful, I used to include such a link in my 
Planet CCRMA menu system...
