Hi all,
Great idea, DSL!
I am wondering if DSL can be used to boot off SD card and programmed to go straight to a browser opening a specific website?
TIA!

Just lost my nice long post to an accidental "page back", so here's the angry short version:
SD booting, if your BIOS likes it (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/usb_booting.html).
Add "firefox <Website URL> &" to "/home/dsl/.xinitrc".
If you want it maximised, the best that can be done is to work out the pixel size at maximised and use "-width" "-height". for 800x600 screen res., might be "firefox -width 795 -height 550 <website URL> &". Dillo uses "-g", eg. "dillo -g 795x550 <website URL> &".
You'll need a persistent home directory, if you use a frugal install (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/persistence.html).
