Internet Shortcut in desktop
I'm using Kurumin 3.2 (a Brazilian flavor of Knoppix) and Kde 3.2.3.
I already managed to create shortcuts for programs in desktop.
I'm having problems to create internet shortcuts in desktop.
Does somebody know how to do this???
Thanks a lot.

I'm having problems to create internet shortcuts in desktop.
What's an internet shortcut to you? Could you please explain a little more what you're trying to do, maybe with a little example?
Shouldn't be a problem.
(translating from German names)
Right click on desktop->new->file->"link to location(URL)"
Or drag&drop the URL from Konqueror's address input line to the desktop (grab the icon left of the URL)

Sorry if I was not clear enough.
I meant to create an icon in desktop to call a internet url.
I follow the next hint and did create the internet shortcut in my desktop.
Thanks a lot.

I follow the next hint and did create the internet shortcut in my desktop.
So it worked? Good to hear. :-)
I cracked the fireworks too soon.
I did manage to create the shortcut. But, it is calling the wrong browser.
I wish it would call Mozilla Firebird instead of (default) Konqueror.
If anybody knows any hint for changing the default browser in a internet shortcut please give a help
Thanks a lot.

You can either switch the default browser or create a program link instead of the URL link and give the URL as a paramater to an appropriate Firebird command.

Would you help me to switch the default browser from konquero to mozilla firebird?? I got very interested in that your idea.
Thanks a lot.

Control Center->KDE components->file asociations->text/html
Or right click a HTML file and choose edit file asociation from the context menu.

I'm away from my computer today.
I'll check your hint tomorrow and I'll tell you the results.
Thanks a lot.
