Too bad the archives are not searchable. People have been doing this
for years. Start up without login and go straight to NS which allows
web mail. Setting up kiosks with NS mail would be a pain since each
person has to have a ns mail account. But the problem you are inquiring
about is easily solved. Just set up xinitrc(or whatever you use) to
start the wm and Netscape or Mozilla or Star Office or whatever.
have fun.
