I am looking for a Linux solution to the following problem.
----
I need a CD based distro that can be customized. It needs to contain a
good, easy to use IRC client(mainly for windoz dummys used to probably
mIRC) as well as network card drivers with autodetect (like Knoppix
autodetect of devices)
The cd needs to communicate with a Linux gateway that will only allow IRC.
There will be about 10-15 computers all on the same network using IRC. The
CD must not allow any hdd interaction or p2p/filesharing.
The CD must also be autobooting, i.e. not having to type kernel parameters,
and difficult to 'remove' so that the primary OS isn't booted. So that
means hard to shutdown with out a passwd or the likes so they can't reboot
with the cd removed. It is only for a couple of days so we don't want to be
passwd protecting bios's and such but just changing them so they boot from
CD first.
The IRC client will probably have to be a X windows app and auto running at
boot up and will restart its self when closed and auto get a channel
listing from a selected source, nick name setting can be a dialog before
starting the app or something like that.
