Hello nika,

you wont be able to install kiosk while doing PXE boot. please remove 'first_run' parameter from your PXE bootloader config.
also - see here:

Hi Fanthom,

for PXE booting i'm using pxelinux.cfg/default config and there is no such parameter, also removed docs/first_run file and still same message so far. :unknown:

# find . -type f -exec grep -l fisrt_run {} \;

ahhh... - sorry
this parameter is also present in the encrypted kiosk config so you must use ISO which was processed by the wizard if you want to do PXE boot.

please do as follows:
- run kiosk again
- configure it as you like
- enable PXE boot option in the wizard
- press 'Skip' on the installation page
- upload generated ISO to some online storage
- use it for PXE booting

in short - you wont be able to use vanilla ISO downloaded from porteus-kiosk.org for PXE booting. it must be processed by the wizard.
