Is there a knoppix Web Kiosk?

[Ghandalfar]

morphix firefox livecd is 96MB and can be probably made even smaller

I tried that. But while editing the .mod file i got a message:
2649 block of size 65535. Preamble:
#!/bin/sh
#V1.0 Format
insmod cloop.o file=$0 && mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cloop $1
exit $?

Block 0 length 0 => 65535
Uncomp: input corrupt 0


So I gave up on Morphix and went to Knoppix.
Whoever made the Morphix Firefox should have made it easier to set the
homepage. I can't boot my kiosk stations to that homepage!!!

is firefox a browser ? my pc should satart automatically and take the proxy adress from dhcp server. the proxy settings are named as http://www.fh-luh.de/proxy.pac
after the internet is functioning it should load only the browser and the internet site http://www.at.fh-flensburg.de/elfhluh/

its all i need . on this site the students can absolve their tests. they need only the browser to work . can you say me what a system do i need ?

remastering my firefox minimod would be probably the easiest way. You'd also want to disable Ctrl+Alt+Fn

how can i remaster morphix fire fox? i live in germany . i need to change the keyboardlayout to german language , change the startpage and configure the proxyserver. how can i do this and how can i make then a bootable cd?

[Ghandalfar]

basicly you have to modify starting grub menu.lst and change the firefox directory in /etc/skel/

if you mail me the information I can prepare you a special version in about a week

One other thing to do would be to edit /etc/inittab so that if the user does manage to kill X and get into the console mode, they will have to login.

Be sure to set a password, too!

I'm looking to do something very similar to this and could use some direction.

Basically, I want to change the following:

1) Change start-up "wallpaper" and color of progress bar,
2) Boot FireFox into fullscreen mode,
3) Change default home page,
4) Change toolbars to add the printer icon and remove address/search bars,
5) Disable Firefox window resize while in full screen mode and/or take steps to prevent user from clicking on desktop to open new Firefox window.
5) Disable Ctrl+Alt+Fn keys, and
6) Edit inittab to force user to login if they are able to crash X.

I'd like to try to do this myself if at all possible but don't really know where to start. Would someone be willing to guide me through the process? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob
