You can set browsers of any kinds on kiosk mode and secure it only to work with a certain domain name or ip address.  Whether you want to run your linux on flash drive or not seems to be irrelevant.  Do I miss the target?

Hi,
 
We have several PCs which are reserved as
OPACs (PCs which can only be used to access the library catalogue). We use
Public Web Browser to restrict access to the catalogue. We often use low spec
computers for this purpose.
 
We have the idea of making these PCs boot
from a USB pen that uses Linux. We would have to find a browser, like PWB, that
can be configured to restrict access. At present we use WinU to display a
button that launches our ‘Library Catalogue’. We would need something
similar that will run on Linux.
 
I am writing to enquire if any library uses
Linux for their OPACs. I would appreciate any advice.
 
Regards
John
