As root run gconf-editor and go to /apps/epiphany/general. There is a "homepage" key in the right panel. Edit that to be the page that you want, then right-click that key and choose "set as mandatory". That should do it. Then if you want you can remove firefox or change the permissions so that students can't run it. -Rob On Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 08:00:52AM -0800, Mel Wade wrote: > I know we have batted this topic around before, but I'm really needing to > find an final solution. > > In my lab it is really important that we lock the Firefox home page so that > we can supply links to the services of our library for our students.
