Kewl idea, but, I think it isnt possible... Unless, you sell the idea on the "CyberCafe's" management...
Why? Well, if the systems are set up the same as our "Local Library" or any of our "local" public access computer systems locations, the systems are "locked down" from any changes...
As in the case of our "local" Library and Employment Services, "public access" computers, the systems have boot, reboot, floppy, and even CD-ROM abilities locked from being used, possibly the only thing you can do is, use the internet icon, and print to a local printer, thats it.
floppy access is not available, no cd-rom is auto-started, and no icons exist for accessing them. The BIOS is locked down, and you cant access the reboot or shutdown from the system without having the proper authorization, login. They may also have read-only drives, set up, that way nothing can get to the system.
I dont think you'll be able to get anything to run, unless you go through the "proper" channels, that is, management of the establishment. You may be able to "sell" them on the idea, but, only if they could "still" have the ability to "lock down" those systems from being used improperly, like they probably have them set up currently.
Not saying your idea isnt a good one, but, its going to take a little "salesmanship" to do it... You need to sell them on the idea of using a Live CD to boot with, the idea that the system boots with a "locked down", "read-only", and lastly, "reboot and everything is clean again" type of a OS. You can then add in, the idea that since they are using a "Linux" OS, it is impervious to those "Windows" viri that are "plagueing" there systems currently. They may want to go with a more "tailored" Live CD, one that only provides "certain" services that they want, and not all the "extra" services that are not needed, or wanted to have, in there situation; like no Samba, sniffer utilities, LAN access, but not server ability, in essence, a "locked down" variant that only allows a user to get to the internet, access email, etc... but not get the establishment into possible "legal" problems; like allowing someone to release viri, or worms, to contaminate there systems, kinda stuff...
Just my thoughts, hope they help
