And complicated, of course. What happens when you're on a public computer somewhere that doesn't have a USB port accessible? Or doesn't allow doing anything with the computer but keyboarding and mousing? I get headaches from unnecessarily crippled machines. My favorite: The computers at Grossmont (College) are under the thrall of Deep Freeze, a program that snapshots a given hard drive state and then resets it to that every time you start the computer. Until recently they also had directory-creating permissions disabled for users, so you couldn't install any software unless it didn't need to create directories (PuTTY). In my case, I wanted to install Mozilla. So... permissions disabled even though it'd be reset anyway. -todd -- KPLUG-List mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
