Ditto, but as I stated in my original post :), one can disable booting by floppy in the BIOS and then password protect the BIOS. Since booting by floppy isn't a common thing (at least for me), this shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience. It is easy to re-enable floppy booting in the BIOS. It may be a pain but better to be safe than sorry. By the way, I don't think I understood what you and David were talking about concerning mbr and the master boot record and floppy booting. Could you please elaborate? Thanks, -Ossama -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
