Obviously I need a kernel with just the basic elements for an Via ITX computer, but what is the best way of providing a minimum set of graphics and a basic browser?
I have got past the stage of getting the machine to download an image to boot from, now I need to build a more practical image :)

Hi Lester,
did you check out lynx?
lynx is a text-based WWW browser Description: Lynx is an easy to use browser for HTML documents and other internet services like FTP, telnet, and news. Lynx is fast. It is purely text based and therefore makes it possible to use WWW resources on text terminals. and it's on SuSE's ftp site and needs less graphics support.
Change of subject, your subject line intrigued me. I did a little googling re "diskless"
Could you in brad brush terms explain what you did?
Thanks,
Another option is to install linux as usual on disk based system and then run it in kde kiosk mode or create bootable cd system that is set up to run in kiosk mode. Not what I would want, prefer ltsp project. Just depends on what the end goal is and how much work you want to do. http://dot.kde.org/997748764/ http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/ John
