gutsy kiosk mode

Hello David,


I created the file, switched on the IP forwarding ......

..... I am sorry, it doesn´t work.

But in the normal mode (not kiosk) the clients find their way to the internet without problems, so I think that the routing/maskerading on the server side is ok.

Only in kiosk mode, the firefox works as a local app on the client, there is no way to the www.
