Firefox Kiosk

I'm currently wrestling with BoothCD and kioskCD.  They are based on DSL
and offered lock down version of firefox.  They seems somehow
customizable, but I'm trying to figure out how to uncompress the KNOPPIX
file from Ubuntu to change the firefox behavior (set de default page).
I'm also trying to find a DSL kernel with the ability to mount a NFS
root on bootup.  Once set, I'll have my network bootable kiosk!


Bonjour à tous les Abitibiens et ex-abitibien de la liste, notamment
