What do I source with ros-desktop-full?

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Hi Amber,

thanks for trying ros-desktop-full. Note that the version Debian does 
not contain all the packages as the one provided by ros.org, but it is 
usable and you if needed you can compile the missing bits yourself:

The Debian ROS packages don't need a setup.bash, everything is installed 
into the default directories, so for example this just works:

$ sudo apt install ros-desktop-full
$ roscore &
$ rviz &
$ rostopic list

Cheers Jochen
