Updated Setup Firefox and Lock it down. Steps 2 &3. Updated Final touches Steps 1, 2, & 4.

This is an updated version of my Puppy Kiosk using Lucid Puppy 5.2 instead of Puppy 4. My first How-to was a bit wordy, so we will get straight to the point here. I am using puppy as an internet kiosk, but I want it to only be used for research. I have the computer locked in a cabinet and there are no USB ports on the monitor or keyboard. I remove all access to the filesystem and all menu entries, except Firefox, Reboot, and Shutdown. I install Public Fox and Procon Latte to lockdown firefox and create a whitelist of allowed websites. Only the websites in my whitelist are accessible. All other webpages get a little pop-up with a message I have defined. There are programs for Windows that can do most of what I will do here, but they do not allow for the same amount of access control. Either that or I'm too cheap to look at the more expensive options. My next post(s) will cover how to accomplish what I have described here.
Sincerely,
-Joe-
