using images as links on the wiki

[blah blah]

Thanks - I managed to solve the problem

It turns out that if it only seems to work if I give a URL for the image

so

[http://packages.ubuntu.com/kstars  attachment:IconPage/edubuntu.png]

doesn't work but

[http://packages.ubuntu.com/kstars
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IconsPage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=edubuntu.png]

does

cheers
Kevin
