This would likely work, but seems silly. If I have physical access, Gentoo making their live cd "secure" isn't going to stop me from owning the machine (in a literal or figurative way) so why make it harder than necessary? Knoppix is my new Gentoo installer :) Nick _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
