But that doesn't prevent a user from removing the CMOS battery (thus erasing
the BIOS passwd). We never win, don't we?

Ah, knoppix. I just burned my first knoppix CD a few hours ago and it went
well....until the GUI loaded. The pc freezed with half the wallpaper(or
login screen or whatever it is) displayed on the screen. (Something must be
wrong with the CDR...them drives are making weird sounds). So alas, it is
still the Slackware installation CD for me.

[i want knoppix... =( ]
