"If you want your kiosk to start up in something other than the default configuration, then your choices are manually rebuilding the ISO and changing the default bootloader options"
Configuring your kiosks to network boot and changing the bootloader options in your pxelinux config is another choice.

Building an ALT Linux based live-webkiosk is yet another choice. The docs in Russian are here but in a few words, it's as simple as
make ISOHYBRID=1 HOMEPAGE=http://example.com/ live-webkiosk.iso
given cloned mkimage-profiles.git and properly set up hasher(7) on an ALT Linux host -- or a live-builder.iso for the target arch booted on an internet-connected host with 4Gb RAM or so. The resulting image takes roughly 100M fitting 3" CDs and 128M USB sticks just fine, and can be custom tailored down if needed.
I'm fine with maintaining English docs either but as the primary audience is Russian-speaking, so is the main corpus of the currently available ones.
