Have a script that starts X for a certain user and begins galeon. Run this as a respawn process under /etc/inittab. Make a certain runlevel be kiosk mode (the default). Make other run levels the admin mode (normal logins etc). /etc/inittab line something like ki:2:respawn:su -c /usr/local/bin/runkiosk kioskuser /usr/local/bin/runkiosk could basically just startx, and let kioskusers .Xsession file do the rest. Perhaps try running it without any WM at all. Use -geometry to make galeon fullscreen. > - Provide some means for a user to safely shut down the system prior > to power-down (preferably from the GUI) Have the whole system use ext3.
