Boothbox LiveCD

Booth originally started as a collection of scripts to facilitate the creation of Firefox kiosks.

At the current time I have decided to focus my efforts on the livecd that incorporates these scripts.

I would recommend anyone interested in setting up a kiosk to try the livecd before looking at the scripts on the sourceforge webiste.

I have ported the scripts over to Damn Small Linux. The new iso image is 75 MB in size.

Note that this does not currently contain java support.

Features:

• Set homepage and throbber url
• Create a whitelist of allowed hosts
• Custom locked down Firefox UI for kiosks
• Fullscreen kiosk mode
• Printing support via CUPS
• Collect usage statistics and have them emailed to you
• Firewalled to only allow web traffic
• Locked down guest account for public usage
• Automatic screensaver activation and kiosk reset
• Firefox respawns after being killed
• Slideshow mode
