How is it possible to remove it from displaying? If you are not booting from floppy, there is an option in the BIOS by which you can deactivate the floppy. This will prevent the system from mounting the floppy. Else if you are using floppy to boot the clients, you might have to fool around with hal rules, forcing the floppy not be mounted. > > 2) While using 12 computers as a thin clients around 75 % of the > server memory was used up but only it used only 2% of the Swap!!!
