'''In a discussion with Peter Robinson last night I discovered that a custom Browse bookmark can be downloaded from the fedora repository. I propose to use this "Feature" to allow a custom set of bookmarts to be maintained that would have a series of links ie: e-books; Floss Manuals; wiki.sugarlabs.org, all of the proposed links to files in SugarCreationKit DVD + The NormalBrowse Google Screen'''
'''In a discussion with Peter Robinson, I discovered that a custom bookmark Browse.rpm can be downloaded from the fedora repository. I propose we use this fact to create a custom set of bookmarks and artwork for Soas with links to: e-books; Floss Manuals; wiki.sugarlabs.org, all of the links to files in the SugarCreationKit DVD + The Normal Browse Google Screen'''


*This should be a simple edit in Browse to point to file:///usr/share/bookmarks/default-bookmarks.html instead of file:///usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html.

* Repointing the default-screen allows us to have fedora supply our revised "Start New" screen ( or maybe several depending on the deployment or schools requirements to Soas v4)
This allows a number of custom startup screens depending on the deployment or a schools requirements for Soas v4

==='''Sugestions on just what content should be included on This screen must be determined from discussions from the lists.'''===


* Case 1 This Modified index-html needs to be customized by fedora and distributed as a .rpm from the repositories
The changes in content on the Browse index-html can be updated via a .rpm file dowloaded from the repositories plus it will be used for the build of the Browse.appliance in the v4 Soas-spin.
* case 2 used for the build of the Browse.appliance in the v4 Soas-spin
