Linux n00b needs help
Ok, I'll be the first to admit, I am a total n00b at Linux, even though I have been playing around with it for almost a year now, only in the past few weeks have I decided to become serious about learning Linux. Here is my issue:
For work I need to create a Linux kiosk that will boot from a CD and run in a kiosk mode. By this I mean, the PC needs to "auto login" and then launch a browser to a web site. The broswer and the OS can not eb changed by the user. The user only should have access to navigate the web site and thats it. I have read a lot of kiosk tutorials, and I think Knoppix is the best Distro for my choice, but I know I will need to make changes and then remaster it. Here is where I am stupid, I have no clue where to start. I have the lastest version of Knoppix and a lot of printed pages to help me, but I just can't seem to make any of the commands work. I would really appreaciate the help!
I will look like a hero if I can convince my boss to dump M$, and go with Linux. I am not afraid to tell my boss that i got help. So thanks in advance. This seems like a great community.
