I agree and am glad to see that this idea is being implemented. I'm really interested in the idea of the Info-Kiosk (in our library) atm, but am thinking about distributing the Internet-cafe style as email stations around campus on old computers in the near future for students to check campus email.

The idea of using flash HDs is great and I am seriously considering that for future implementations. For now, I'll stick to the CD. I've messed with firefox-1, knoppix 3.7 kiosk commands, firefox3, and stallion just finished burning.

Is the new version anywhere near release? Sounded like some good changes on the verge of release.

Oh yeah, printing is a must for me on the Info-Kiosk. I would think the same of most kiosks.

I only have a few questions. How do I remaster the CD with preset bookmarks, proxy, oh and change the default home page?...When i explore the iso image, I do not see the bookmarks.txt, proxy.txt, setting.txt files. Do I create these myself? if so, how? and where do I put these files.

If you take a close look at cd you will see firefox/prefs.js that is used instead of the one that is inside home directory on cd - just to show the concept.

There you can put following files:

- prefs.js
- bookmarks.html

you can also put whole .mozilla folder there. So you have firefox/mozilla that gets copied into .mozilla folder. Please notice that with never releases of firefox the .firefox folder is gone and .mozilla/firefox/default.sth/ is used. (just in case you start looking over your files and wonder why no .firefox copying).

I'm looking at the stallion CD and there seems to be no firefox directory. I'm starting to read up on Morphix and see how I could just replace certain files, but don't want to re-do something already done. Am I missing something or was this left off the stallion version?

I'd also like to echo the "Great Job" of Warpath! This really gets me on my way!

LiveCD.net team prepared new build of Stallion Kiosk Live CD.

You can download iso from http://sigma.livecd.net/~skrat/stallion2.iso

- XPI install, Firefox updates and Firefox plugin finder service are disabled
- some minor changes in Firefox behavior (Password Manager is disabled by default, Saving Form Information is disabled by default...)
- Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin
- Macromedia Flash plugin
- Firefox 1.0

Thanks skrat!

Does anyone have any experience with hhttp://kiosk.mozdev.org/ aka The Kiosk Project

Just loaded stallion2.iso

Seems that the y and z keys are swapped. Any fix for this?

Thanks

Not only are y and z reversed, but I am having a hard time finding machines that will boot the CD. Seems to work ok on my laptop, but I've tried 6 completely different machines, and they all act like the CD isn't bootable.

Hrmmm...... :?

sloughary: ups... i accidentaly left slovenian keybord settings. I will fix this and replace iso. Sory for the inconvinience.

owen0129: that is probabbly problem on your site (medium or iso download).
First check MD5sum: fbd93c4fa56a66ca338d58a4dcd7aa60
And than try to burn it on another medium.

skrat: I'll re-download the image once the ISO is online with the english keyboard. Many thanks.

Won't the MD5 change when you update the ISO tho?

Thanks.

skrat: I checked the MD5 you gave me against the image I downloaded, and it matches exactly.

I'm using reputable CDR media, but I'll try another brand/type to be safe. Other recent images I've burned boot up without issues though (Knoppix 3.7, Morphix 0.5pre4 w/ LightGUI, etc). I'll let you know what I find. In the meantime, look forward to the updated ISO with the english keyboard. Thanks.

Awsome! Before I try it, can you tell me if you know whether they included the Linux driver for the touch screen add-on I previously requested in this thread? (Linux driver his here: http://www.enablemart.com/productdet...id=329&dept=21)

If not, how does a linux newbie like myself add this driver?
