-=== Manual Configuration ===
-If you choose to do the configuration manually, here are some options you most likely need to set.
-  * Enable Wake on LAN.
-  * Enable Home Page, setting the url to ''http://pixi.guide/spot'' and selecting "Append string to the homepage: MAC address".
-  * Private mode; disable.
-  * Zoom Controls; disable.
-  * Navigation bar; disable.
-  * Mouse Cursor; Disable (with "Hide Permanently") if using a touch screen, else Enable.
-  * The additional components mentioned above (uefi.zip pixilab.xzm), where pixilab.xzm provides custom functionality such as power management and improved reliability under some network conditions.
-The second point above (as well as the //homepage// option in the config file) assumes that you have a DNS that resolves ''pixi.guide'' to your local Blocks server. If not, type the IP address (and possibly port number) of your server instead of ''pixi.guide''. Finally, press Next, which displays a "Setting report" with similar information as shown for the //kiosk-config.txt// file above.
