We cannot provide "all websites" in a file provided with Haiku
itself... and so the best solution is to point to a single page
somewhere on the internet that isn't likely to disappear, where as
many sites as possible are linked. That's the only sane method :)

IMO, the majority of the welcome text and user guide should be content
local to the user's computer to assist them *without* requiring an
internet connection at all, once you require an internet connection to
read more info, you should just send them to a single page where they
can find links to all that info. It just seems like the proper sane
strategy.
