Re: [K12OSN] K12LTSP user in kiosk mode

[<Crouse-K12LTSP6088 mailblocks com>]

With Knoppix many security issues exist... like being able to run 
etherreal, and a terminal server from knoppix... which probably 
wouldn't play well with K12LTSP

.... although, I could be wrong :)

 Have you considered running a couple of old PCs with Knoppix? I don't 
think you need a Hard Drive, just a CD than can boot (via BIOS)- If the 
searchers find something worth keeping they can't save or print but at 
least they can email the info to themselves...
