   There are two parts to my plan...  The first requires some others to
change a few things I don't know how to change.  <Default setup in Disk
Druid, for example. Or changing the default page for KDE help and
autolaunching it on first boot, but I have some ideas for that...>

   I have some thoughts on a few easy ways to do this.  First, is to
setup a link to the KDE help in the autostart folder of the default
desktop.  Or a script that launches it once, and then deletes itself.
   As for the docs themselves, I am working on them now.  First is a
quick start guide.  I will need some screen shots, however, and I don't
know how to get screenshots of an install.  Any hints?  After I have a
Quick start series, I can start a Quick Admin series with things like
how to add users.  Installing applications.  Speaking of which; Is there
some reason we can't include a copy of Star Office?
