Tom, Since I've worked in a school environment, I do have some advice I can offer. First off, your school should already have some sort of protections software to keep kids from doing too much. The school I was at used a program called FoolProof. It is only as effective as the password, but there is a lot you can lock out with this program. Plus, it works on both Windows and Mac platforms. If the school doesn't already have it, I'd strongly suggest they get it or something similar. If they only have Macs, there is also Macmanager or MacAdministrator. As for the CDs, the way I did it was to make a disc image using Disc copy and place an alias of the image in the startup items folder. Most programs will see the mounted image as no different from the install cd. Well, the baby's crying so I can't write much more at the moment. I'll happily answer other questions.
