I was wondering if anyone has tried to build a kiosk Gentoo system? I need to build out a touchscreen system running linux which boots a minimal install, loads X - does an autologin and starts an application. I have built a RedHat box which can do this but would much rather use Gentoo since I like it alot and I can control what gets installed.
I have gotten my Gentoo distro up and running with touch on the required hardware for the project but I was wondering what do I need besides Xfree in order to accomplish my task? I was reading about gdm which has a built in autologin feature but it requires GNOME or at least it tells me it does when I do the emerge. I used gdm on my RedHat box to get the autologin to work but it seems like overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish. I also looked online and found a couple good articles but they all refered to RedHat which I will try to garnish information from but any real world help would be great. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
