Is there a kernel .config file for porteus kiosk?
I would like to compile custom kernel with ptmx and pts devs modules for ssh support.
Any other solution??

Re: kernel .config for kiosk
yes but i wont publish it as modifications to the kiosk kernel are not allowed. if you want functionality not included in the kiosk kernel by default then you can:Is there a kernel .config file for porteus kiosk?
a) ask for inclusion (and explain why)
b) use kernel from porteus standard edition (or any other kernel from any other distro)
c) compile your own kernel
this is actually a huge security hole.I would like to compile custom kernel with ptmx and pts devs modules for ssh support.
please explain why would you like to do it in the first place.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

I would employ to:
* store / restore backup files (hdd is idle) via scp, more secure than ftp or smb
* send poweroff and reboot comand
* distributed applications or databases
etc.

hello gustao,
Kiosk is too much restricted for these tasks (kiosk can write only to a swap partitions and tmpfs). i suggest you going with our desktop edition which has everything you need, supports booting over PXE, etc.

yes but i wont publish it
Actually, this violates the GPL -which specifies that any files used to configure or build the binary should be included with the sources. Perhaps you at least include the kernel module which prints out the config?

Re: kernel .config for kiosk
kiosk has a strong focus on a security and kernel config is a part of the process. that's why i have objections for giving it by default unlike our standard edition where config is available ootb. ofc i have to give an access to the sources if someone request it claiming GPL violations. still - i'm willing to do it only through the private channels (like mail) and not on a public forum.
