I recently purchased my laptop and the issue of securing your data on the
laptop came to my mind.
I thought up of a few measures to make accessing the data on my laptop more
difficult if it was stolen (which i hope will not happen). However, I am
quite sure that there are holes which i did not consider and I just thought of
throwing this issue out for anybody who might have comments.
1. I set the boot sequence to the harddisk then the floppy and cd-rom
2. I password protected the bios setup so that changes to the boot sequence
requires a calid password.
3. I set the lilo to be password protected so that linux single will not work
wthout a valid password.
Anyone has any comments on how someone who steal my laptop can access the data
inside after I have done the three measures?
(I am an ignorant idiot so if i did something really foolish just gently tell
me)
Anyway just thought this might be an interesting issue that many experienced
users might have good suggestions.
