Most students don't have the ability to build a boot disk, and those that do probably won't. But, if you are worried, you can put a password on the BIOS on the computer and disable booting from floppy. And, if you are *really* concerned you can disable the wait on the bootblocks to keep them from going single user or at least make the console insecure which forces them to enter a password. Nate
