Is it possible to replace browser on another linux app

Here you can post about the issues related to modifications performed manually (not through the kiosk wizard). Example: swapped kernel, added 3rd party modules or files.
Please describe in detail what has been changed and hopefully other kiosk user will be able to help.
Porteus team wont resolve bugs posted in this category as we support only modifications made by the kiosk wizard.

Makov,

You would need to resolve missing deps, add required utilities to kiosk, etc (you can copy them to kiosk over SSH for temporary testing).
Once your app is confirmed to work you need to remaster kiosk ISO as per kiosk documentation and FAQ.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
