here are my requirements(today). 1. diskless (none that are writable that is). 2. X windows. 3. Auto login to a captive shell running Netscape only. 4. Ethernet. 5. boot from and run off a cdrom. What I have in mind is a kiosk that students can use but can't abuse. In addition the only application available to them will be netscape which will start automatically when the machine is booted, which can happen at any time. If somehow the user manages to exit netscape the machine should restart netscape or reboot, of which rebooting is preferable. If this is do-able using FreeBSD where can I look for some hints on how I might proceed? What haven't I thought of that I should? hal To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
