| |
− | ** runs the kiosk software.
| |
− | * What OS do you want to use?
| |
− | * What kind of hardware is supported for that OS?
| |
− | * Determine all component properties you'll need: hard drive size, CPU speed, e.g.
| |
− | * Comparison shop components (document shopping process with links)
| |
− | * Order components
| |
− | * Build machine
| |
− | * Install OS
| |
− | * Test machine hardware (benchmark if necessary)
| |
− | * Software dev and testing for TASKS
| |
− | ** burn CD/DVDs,
