Hello all!

I have been assigned to the task of setting up some kiosk pc's for my workplace to use. I have one machine that is set up with a guest account (Not the default guest account in 8.10. I needed settings to stick, like background image and things like that.), and it's pretty minimal. Question is, how do I (or can I?) copy the settings on that machine for that account onto multiple machines?

Copy the home directory onto the new machines? Use simple backup and restore? Copy over certain hidden folders inside of home? I tried copying .gconf, .gconfd, and .gnome over, and got nothing on a test machine.

Thanks for your help!

Jeremy
