4th sentence reads, "What has happened here is that while the CD has aliases mozilla to run firefox..."

I think that means to be "has aliased."

Second paragraph

The 'myconfig=scan' should probably read 'knoppix myconfig=scan', for the uninitiated. The results from the
steps performed in 'Save Kiosk Settings' on the opposite page do load the previous kiosk settings, but a
bit of follow-up is needed. When the saved settings are loaded again, IceWeasel/Firefox returns a session
error, from breaking the previous session to save the settings, and prompts to restore the session or start
a new session. Either option does the same thing, opens the browser to a blank web-page. Since there is no
url toolbar, the specified homepage cannot be recalled without leaving the session, again.

Hack #87

2nd sentence of header intro reads, "While the Windows Recovery CD can restore a default boot file, unlike > Knoppix, it won't let you edit it directly."

I deduced the meaning pretty easily, but after wondering if the Windows CD could restore a default boot file, unlike Knoppix.
