How tough would it be (I want to tighten my kids down) to have the DSL CD boot up to a screen with JUST the browser and and IRC client? I would also like VNC running sinceI can check on them via my Treo 600 cell phone.

Thanks!

The LiveCD would require the "restore=hdxx" command at boot time for this to work..

If from HD install, simply move/delete all of the icons and
.lnk files from the .xtdesktop folder that you don't want on screen.

Check that you have the "enhance" line uncommented in your
.xinitrc line so the enhanced desktop will come up automatically.

You can edit the /usr/bin/enhance file if you want to remove
the slit, bbpager, etc...

If DSL 0.7.3 opens to the desktop automatically on your system,
then removing the unwanted items from .xtdesktop should do it..

Put the vnc startup command in your bootlocal.sh file.

Again, if running from LiveCD, you'll need to make sure several
lines are in your filetool.lst, like /home/dsl/.xtdesktop, etc...,
and backup your system..  Then, when rebooting, use the
restore=hdxx line in your bootup options...

If the restore=hdxx line isn't used , your back to the defaults,
so no lockdown/security to be found there..

Otherwise, remaster the DSL cd altering the files discussed, and
" rolling your own" version of DSL..

Other users here probably have WAY more info than I have
on this subject....

Don't forget to remove any unwanted programs from your Fluxbox menu.

You can edit the list via:

scite /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu

Hope this helps.

There is a custom Morphix CD to do this.  Look for the Firefox2.iso on the download site.
