I think that would work, except it meses up the permissions, so the accounts won't open.... I found this tutorial<http://http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/Deepfreeze_for_Linux>, and I think it would work, but I am not sure how to copy and restore all of the user accounts "except" the administrator account:
In the home directory I have: kevin patron4 patron5 patron6 The tutorial says to do this : #!/bin/bash rm -f /root/Desktop/clean_all.tar tar -cpPf /root/Desktop/clean_all.tar /home/all but as I have said, if i do that it will also restore my kevin directory right? Is there a way to exclude the kevin directory from the tarball? Or is there a way for me to put all of my public profiles in a directory like all? How would I do that? Thanks so much, Also, the tutorial mentions that to get the restore script to run at bootup, the bootmisc.sh should be modified. Would this work by modifying /etc/rc.local?
