I have put together a linux box for someone which is basically just a kiosk with only a few desktop icons you could click on (which makes this ironic) and the user is now telling me, now that the box is all put together and stripped down and hardened and in an environment without internet access, that they need screenshots of a number of things for a user manual (including the login screen).

I dont know that it is relevant but I am running Suse 9.1 Pro

How can I take screenshots in linux (Suse KDE)?

If you are reccomending downloading a program is there any way to do it with whatever KDE/Suse comes with?

Can you take screenshots of the login screen somehow?

Ksnapshot takes screenshots, I don know how you would go about doing the login screen though.

is that a part of KDE? or a component that usually comes with KDE but you have specifically install from CD? or a KDE tool that you need to download?

thanks!

I'd just grab a login shot from the net such as this one and then use Ksnapshot for the rest - i think it fires up as soon as you hit print screen doesnt it?

Yes it comes with KDE, I´ve never had to install it (take a look under your graphics menu), even so it is on the cd/dvd. You can use the printscreen key to start it.
