Using LM 7.2
I want to set up an icon on my user account KDE desktop that will launch
Netscape and display the index.html file that is the entry point into
the Mandrake Reference Manual in the /usr/share/doc/Mandrake/en
directory. I dragged the index.html file from Konqueror to the desktop
and selected Link and it created the link there. But I want the text
under to icon to be something more informative than just "index.html".
Am I to understand that operations on the "link" are the same as
operations on the file linked to? I see that the link on my desktop has
inherited the same permissions as the targeted file. Maybe what I should
be doing is creating a .kdelnk file on my desktop, but I haven't gotten
that far into the KDE stuff, nor seen in any context menu where to do
that. I'm just trying to get my feet wet in general Linux command line
and file system organization first. Although I love the security and
stability of linux (everyone in my family has their own account, and is
it true that there are only 3 linux virii and that they are harmless?),
it's really strange at first to at least this DOS defector. Thank you
for any enlightenment on this.

P.S. I am using Netscape to view the html files because for some reason
Konqueror has decided to use a strange font in the browser and I can't
get rid of it. But that's another battle to deal with later....
