[K12OSN] Updated Greatest Hits LiveCD

[Peter Scheie]

I'll look for the rogue space; thanks for spotting that.

As to the menus, that's heavily influenced by the KDE Edu project which provides a lot 
of those apps.  It isn't necessarily difficult to change, but it means redoing the work 
of people upstream, which can turn into a maintenance headache.  In this first attempt, 
I was shooting mostly to replicate what is in K12LTSP by adding whatever was missing 
from Edubuntu and removing anything that wasn't in K12LTSP.  If Edubuntu already had the 
app, I didn't worry too much about whether it was under Edutainment or Games.  Since the 
point of the live CD is to allow teachers et al to explore the educational apps that 
come with K12LTSP, I plan to just try to mirror that.
