Hi
Well, I got further along. I think the best way to go is with mozilla. I've
been playing around with "Kiosk Project" at http://kiosk.mozdev.org
I've installed slackware and am using blackbox as a window manager. I've got
the box to bootup into X with mozilla/blackbox and no login. Quitting
mozilla restarts X with mozilla/blackbox. I'd really love to add tabbed
browsing, so I'm working on that.
I've been fishing around the mozilla source hunting for the default chrome
files. As I think it would be easiest to just hack those rather then the
kiosk ones. The kiosk project interface is rather limited and downright
ugly. Mainly, I want to get rid of the preferences, print, about, message,
composer, download, etc options. So I think it's easiest to work backwards
rather then forwards.
On quit I thought it best to strip the history, cookies and cache and put a
sign on the terminal to let people know they can do that when they're done to
protect their privacy.
Any thoughts?
