Remaster :?: How to add app launcher to desktop or toolbar?
Trying to remaster my own version of Knoppix. I'm not a total Linux noob, but nowhere near expert status either. I've looked at the HowTo doc on remastering (thank you to whoever wrote it, btw), but I am not seeing anywhere if it's possible to create an icon on the Knoppix desktop or in the main toolbar that would be there by default when booting from the remastered CD.
What I want is to replace Mozilla with Mozilla Firefox (judging from other posts, this seems to be a fairly common goal), but I want the icon for Firefox either on the desktop or on the main toolbar.
My company brings in a "CyberCafe" (4 or 6 computers on a LAN) to industry conventions where attendees can sit down and check their web-based email or use OpenOffice apps if needed, etc. We've been using SuSE Linux up until now, but I thought it would be great to not need hard drives in these machines to avoid the potential of shipping damage to these drives. I'd much rather use a remastered Knoppix CD to power our CyberCafe computers.
Oh! One other thing: I need to alter the XF86 configuration because the onboard graphics (S3 KM133) blacks out. From what I've found online, I need to add the "Use Bios" "no" option into the graphics driver config. Can someone tell me how I would be able to do that when creating the remastered CD? Currently, without that option, Knoppix gets to the splash screen then goes black because the refresh rate isn't compatible.
We've got a convention coming up in a couple of weeks, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
