Dont overlook lilo's security - my laptop is setup to boot HD only, bios settings are pw protected. Lilo will boot linux without a password but requires a password if any cmdline options are given to lilo with a kernel, so it still stops people from booting with an external disk, and can't boot single mode. -- Jason Straight [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 1796276 pgp: http://www.JeetKuneDoMaster.net/~jason/pubkey.asc
