Re: XZM support in Windows?

Hi Ed_P

Thanks for that.
But what if they need to change the "home" page's location (they may need online page sometimes) and may require to make other changes.

Dave.

Hi all I have a customer which after much convincing, has agreed to use Porteus Kiosk instead of Win 7 for some kiosks around their offices.

Thank you very much for the reply.

Re: Can Porteus handle power cuts without data corruption?

Hi fanthom and thank you for your prompt reply and confirmation that Porteus will run completely in RAM.
My application will have no writing/saving to USB flash disk (once it's customized and iso created).

Can Porteus handle power cuts without data corruption?

Hi all I intend to use Porteus Desktop Edition on some computers (booting off USB flash drive) which are prone to being switched off at anytime. My question is, does Porteus mount the boot USB flash drive in Read Only and copy everything to RAM and run from there, thus making possible data corruptio...

Re: Support for /dev/dsp ?

Hi fanthom

Thank you for the link, the snd-pcm-oss will allow the creation of /dev/padsp which will be a small change.

Sorry about posting in the wrong section.

I could use the html 5 <audio> tag but the Bash scripts to play the sound clips already exist and I would like to keep them as is. So my questions as...

Hi all New here as just discovered Porteus Kiosk Edition and really like it. As regards the strain the server/s take when generating the iso, why not (as been previously mentioned) have a script (for Linux) and some sort of program (for Windows) that generates the iso locally on the users machine fr...
