PCBSD in Kiosk mode

[ds713]

Hello,

I hope someone can point me in the correct direction. I need to set up several children's PC's in kiosk mode with a webpage that shows on the complete desktop. I would really like to use PCBSD as the OS, because it's so terrific. I have seen some info on setting mozilla in kiosk, but I really don't need them to even see the pcbsd menu's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dale

You can set up KDE to only display a blank desktop (no icons, panels) and probably disable the desktops context menu if you wanted and make it auto-launch the browser on login. Disable all the other tty's in /etc/ttys and (maybe) run X on the first, I dunno never tried it.


As far as Kiosk mode, this is some of the documentation for KDE and Kiosk mode.

KDE System Administration/Kiosk/Introduction

Kiosk Admin Tool

I think Antik or some one else posted a guide about it last year.
