Sorry for a (very) late reply... I have that file somewhere, but I don't see the point anymore. Reasons:

  1. Porteus Kiosk links are gone, as the maintainer removed all files for anything released before version 6.0
  2. Files that I've uploaded were also removed by file sharing service with a message : "File has been removed due to inactivity." ; I don't plan to reupload due to point one
  3. Porteus Kiosk as a distribution is probably breaking GPL-2.0 because its maintainer doesn't publish source code, specially not one that would be enough to build a functional product by compiling the code on your own
  4. Maintainer claims it was all removed due to some undisclosed security issue so running anything before 6.x would be security issue (though we don't really know because it was never disclosed, so we don't know if we could've fixed it on our own, but because we don't have source code that's impossible anyway)

Because of all that I honestly believe days of Porteus Kiosk are numbered and people should find other alternatives. Even people that are on 6.x and paying should really find alternative, because Porteus could be closed at any time, due to licensing issues.

Sorry to bring all the bad news, if you have any complaints direct them at [email protected] ( https://porteus-kiosk.org/contact.html ). As much as I know this is one-man-band distribution, and Tomasz Jokiel [email protected] is the sole developer and maintainer, and reads all emails, no matter which of the info / sales / support email addresses you use. You can also use Porteus Forum that's still sort of alive, but had like 3 posts in last 6 months in the Kiosk section ( here : https://forum.porteus.org/viewforum.php?f=101 )

P.S. Actually, reading those 3 forum posts, they all end up with message:
Porteus Kiosk section of the forum is unmaintained now. Its kept in a 'read only' mode for archival purposes. Please use the kiosk contact page for directing your queries: [https://porteus-kiosk.org/contact.html](https://forum.porteus.org/go.php?https://porteus-kiosk.org/contact.html). So I guess this ends any community discussions on the Porteus Kiosk as well. Good luck!
