Set up a session to start up Firefox. And, as you say, preset your homepage. > Now my question is, can I configure this thing so it will always log in and load > Firefox, and won't exit to a password prompt? If you didn't want someone doing that, you'd want to look into one of the kiosk set ups to make it hard to log out. > I want to have just a mouse and a monitor on this thing, no keyboard, > so it would lead to an interesting situation if one of the users > logged out and got back to a password prompt. You probably could use a face browser with the GDM screen, and set up a guest log-in that didn't need a password. Not sure if you can do a timed re-log-in so that it'd log in, again, without anybody doing anything. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
