Change Homepage and autorun web browser

[moose999]

This could be more of a linux question than a puppy-specific thing, but how can I change the homepage puppy uses, and make the web browser autorun - kinda like a internet kiosk affair? I know how to change ISO's, but I dont know what to change!


TIA

assuming you mean the browser's start page, it's:

edit --> preferences --> general --> change "home page location" to whatever u want ,

with firefox. to start browser after boot-up you could try adding a line to /etc/profile, after the line saying "exec xwin", saying "exec defaultbrowser &"

have you looked at these 2 sites?

oh well!

forget that line about adding "exec defaultbrowser &" to /etc/profile. i just tried it myself, rebooted & didn't work!

i'm sure mu's posted something about this, but can't locate it. does anybody recall?

ok,

i found the post i was after. you can automatically load browser by adding:

"exec defaultbrowser &" to /root/.xinitrc BEFORE "exec $CURRENTWM"
