KIOSK generator for Scientific Linux and CentOS (versions 5, 6 and 7).
Created using Scientific Linux. Wasn't made and never tested on different distros than SL/CentOS/EL!
This script will install additional packages and applications and configure operating system to make it work in KIOSK mode after reboot. It will work with basic, clean install systems and with desktop already installed.
It use GDM, Opera browser, flash, xinit-session. It make system boot into graphical mode, then automatically login to "kiosk" user which will start Opera web browser.
You may configure few parameters inside script file (like if flash should be installed or not).
Version 1.4 for i386 and x86_64 architectures.
