LiveInfo 2.6 did boot on my machine - the same machine that wouldn't boot Stallion1 nor Stallion2 nor vff4.iso.

This week's project for me is to customize LiveInfo for my own use (get it to boot automatically to index.html located on a flash drive).

After while still no luck ...I have posted about problem hopeing someone has had same problem and can give give solutioni to problem.

After remastering Knoppix. Meaning I have created a KIOSK CD. The cd when inserted into cdrom and booted up boots immediatly into kiosk mode.

The problem is ..that the remastered kiosk cd only works on that machine I used to create the kiosk cd.

If I take the cd to other computers in office I get an error while it boots up. The error message is :

ERROR: No suitable X-server found for your card.

I used the knoppix hacks book and hints on this forum to create this kiosk.

Anyone else come across this problem? And solution?

Regarding the issue I had about booting up the Stallion2 cd on certain computers, I was able to fix it.

I used Nero to re-burn the cd using the boot cd option in Nero.

I pointed to the boot.img file from the stallion2 cd as the boot image.

then dragged all of the Stallion2 cd contents and burned it.

some of the options I selected was emulate 2.88MB floppy disk. The boot.img is larger then 1.44 so I dont think if emulating a 1.44 floppy would work.

Skrat,
Just an FYI, it worked to copy the whole .mozilla directory over to usersettings\firefox. Thanks for the tip!

First indications are that this works for me too...

Yep it works on other machines as well. Looks like an issue with the mastering of the ISO. I guess it's trying to get a 2.88 mb file to emulate a 1.44 mb floppy. Some Bios es work it out others dont...

I burned my LiveInfo disc with Nero 6 in multi-session mode. After burning the original ISO, I added my changes to the usersettings directory and closed it out. I haven't yet been able to create my own ISO image using the methods above so I essentially have to "start over" even if I need to make a simple change.

How about just using multiple multisessions?

I have got the LiveInfo CD and customised the firefox settings in prefs.js to access our proxy and internet. Great!

But now I would like to be able to display the address bar for users to type the web address in directly, as opposed to haveing to do a search on google even if they know the web address. The navigation bar would also be nice. Anyone know which settings i nedd to set to display these in LiveInfo CD.

I have tried Stallion, which actually was ideal, but could not work out how to access the firefox files to set the web proxy settings?

Hope someone can help...

Skrat mentioned in his post that announced the LiveInfo CD (page 20) that they will soon be releasing a new version of Stallion with the same customization options as LiveInfo.
