KioskCD
News
- Want to load KioskCD from an IDE-based CF card? This means a fast boot and no CD (or drive) needed. Click here to read this suggestion from Jack Raup. Thanks, Jack!
- Boot floppy kit (for when your PC can't boot directly from CD). See the Downloads page.
- Latest version: v2.8.
- Flash now works properly (thanks for waiting!). And it's updated to Flash v7.
- Inbound ping is now enabled (so you can remotely check if your KioskCD is up, assuming you know its fixed IP).
- DNS test can now be skipped, via a config file option.
- URL box and search box in browser can now be hidden, via config file options.
What Is KioskCD?
- Provide trouble-free Web access — with a CD-ROM! No hard-drive needed!
- Your PC boots from the CD and a web browser appears — that's it!
- Use wherever you want to supply Web access to people, without worrying about what they will do to your computer.
- Currently being used at places like: a hotel lobby, skydiving center bar-and-grill, retirement home library, wine-country b&b, hospital employee lounge, ad agency, etc.
- No other programs or menus are available to the user. Users cannot change the configuration. Cannot be infected since it's a read-only CD. Always reboots to same state. If you have a hard-drive installed, it is ignored by KioskCD.
- Upon booting, KioskCD automatically configures a network connection, using standard DHCP. Or use a static IP (v2.7+).
- Perfect solution for waiting rooms, cafes, schools, events. Get a spare PC, put in the CD, and the job is done.
- Keep your regular OS on your hard-drive. Then you can either boot from the CD (for web browser only) or from the hard-drive (to use your computer as usual).
You can order KioskCD from these fine distributors.
