Mosaic kiosk mode? Alternatives?

I'm new to this list, here because I manage our library's
web site (http://www.washoe.lib.nv.us - y'all come visit
any time).

We're planning for a public access Internet PC, probably
connecting through our county network.  The main piece of
software used would be a web browser, and I'm looking for
one that will run (or can be modified to run) in "kiosk mode"
with some functions disabled.  

I've read Carole Leita's description of how to modify Netscape
< http://www.lib.berkeley.edu:8000/NS/ > but am hoping to find
an alternative that would require less programming.

Found a few references in the archive about Mosaic's kiosk mode,
but nothing recent.  Would appreciate any info about your
experiences with this, or any other options.
