Thanks again for your help!

Finally the "working"solution to avoid the "mount ...: invalid argument" error, was to replace Xvesa and opera with a new download of these two files from the tcz repo from distro.ibiblio.org.
Just that simple...:)

Thanks very much anyway!

Kind regards
Kees

Hello kzpm!

Are looking for something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7JTW-ZeIT8

The project is built up with CorePlus and Firefox.

Hello Zendrael!

Thanks for posting your video link! Real cool OS!!
It looks like that your setup with xcore86 and firefox is exactly what I am trying to reach at this moment. As a matter of fact, my kiosk browser is now operational. The only things I need to do is to include wireless support and lock the system down (ctrl-alt-backsp and ctrl-alt-F1).
Did you wrote a script for your kiosk setup?

Kind regards, Kees

Hello Kzpm!

I wrote a firefox add-on/extension and two scripts but I'm waiting for the Core 5 release to do a remaster of the OS, so anyone could benefit from it.

The browser runs without the caption of the window manager, but a window manager (openbox) is used to handle messages or other windows. I set it up to everytime ignore new windows and try to open them in new tabs.

There are no other stuff running together, only the browser. I also added a menu item to call exittc and shutdown or restart the system.

Nice to hear that your project is operational!

Hi Zendrael,

Do you mean you only use Xvesa or Xorg without wm to fire up the browser?
I managed to get this working also. I have no wm installed at all.

Due to variety in specs of hardware, I had to load a bunch of extensions (samba for printing in windows environments, wicd for wireless scanning dropbear for remote adminstration,..) so the webkiosk is not that tiny anymore (about 111 mb).

What is the size of your iso? Did you include some remote administration tools or other extensions to get your kiosk working on unknown hardware specs?
