If you need play boxes ask for them NOW. There are a few PII's and P3's in the 333mhz area... Deman hasn't made it to them yet...

I doubt FGM has any P-II boxes left. We gave ours to Goodwill to reduce inventory before the move.Tom Mike Cook wrote:Looks similar to some of the other approaches I've looked at. I was just looking to get out all the cruft and make something that would both boot fast from CD and be inherently secure (can't compromise what isn't there). My biggest gripe so far is Firefox is so stinkin' huge, but there isn't much else both OS and compatible with nearly all websites. That alone bumps the memory footprint up past where I'd like to see it (Ideally, I would like to use a PII, a VESA graphics card, and 128M or less and still get reasionable performance).Mike On Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:11:39 -0500 Tony Germano <tony_germano@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:The link looks a fairly simple solution that could be made to work.I think the way you get the system to restart after the app shuts down is to start the xserver running an application instead of a display manager.

You are able to go to other websites, but you cannot access the rest of the system. Also if you close seamonkey or firefox (whichever one they are using) it actually reboots the system. (can be a good and a bad thing) But that maybe be an option for doing kiosks. That link has detailed instructions on how the guy remastered Knoppix for 2003 World Congress on Ultrasonics. So it may be a good viable solution. Maybe Marc could get the info or something about the solution that they used at 3Btech.Chuq On Tue, 2010-01-19 at 11:37 -0500, Mike Cook wrote:I have been working on doing that for kiosks.
