With Actualy i would like a system, that has everything, just one user account must be restricted.

Yes, i would like the users ONLY to view netscape! Let's say: no xterms, no menus, just Netscape. > > Would you like the users to be able to save only to a floppy disc, or > not at all?

Well i didn't understand the last sentence, but anyway: users can only surf and nothing else.No prompt, no saving files or such things. Can you please help me with that?
