http://jadoba.net/PLUG/kiosks/howto/ has a writeup about it (Deban specific, but applicable to other distributions) What you want is probably more like: http://ramblings.narrabilis.com/wp/firefox-fullscreen-kiosk-machine/ I found a kiosk mode pluggin here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1659 This is just a start, and you may not need or want to lock down the kiosk as tightly as these are implying. I did not read fully to see how they got around the shift-alt-f1 to get to a console issue. If I were doing it, I would likely run a console on the *serial* port, and have X start an x session that started only firefox on Virtual Console 1, with no other gettys running at all. The console on the serial port is only for diagnostics, or plugging in a terminal while the system is up for system level admn type stuff. A proper kiosk would have all services shut off, so no getting in via ssh. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
