I have zero experience with Linux, which is possibly why I am finding this so frustrating.What I want is a CD that boots into Firefox so that I have a dumb terminal on the shop floor of my factory. I have tried following the help files to edit my startup files, but I cannot save them once edited. I cannot read data saved on my pen drive because "you do not have read access" Please point me at some (simple) configuration options. Thanks Posted by treborsux on Nov. 05 2004,19:48

Dude quit flooding the board Brian AwPhuch Posted by AwPhuch on Nov. 06 2004,03:33
you will more than likely have to remaster the cd with just the firefox installed... You can do a HD install and use whitebox to remove all the desktop shortcuts (right mouse click options) and delete all the other files that you dont want on there... Leave the rightmouse click option to open a terminal so you can have shell access in case you need it..but remove everything else... Brian AwPhuch Posted by regsx on Nov. 06 2004,08:56
