Description:
Provide trouble-free Web access — with a CD-ROM! No hard-drive needed!
Your PC boots from the CD and a web browser appears — that's it!
Use wherever you want to supply Web access to people, without worrying about what they will do to your computer.
Currently being used at places like: a hotel lobby, skydiving center bar-and-grill, retirement home library, wine-country b&b, hospital employee lounge, ad agency, etc.
No other programs or menus are available to the user. Users cannot change the configuration. Cannot be infected since it's a read-only CD. Always reboots to same state. If you have a hard-drive installed, it is ignored by KioskCD.
Upon booting, KioskCD automatically configures a network connection, using standard DHCP. Or use a static IP (v2.7).
Perfect solution for waiting rooms, cafes, schools, events. Get a spare PC, put in the CD, and the job is done.
Keep your regular OS on your hard-drive. Then you can either boot from the CD (for web browser only) or from the hard-drive (to use your computer as usual).
Min and Max ISO size: 82-60 MB
Purpose: desktop, Thin Client
OS: GNU/Linux
Architecture: (i486 or later)
