Exactly.. :) After installation, the password was not working.. i thought of re-install, but this recovery mode worked fine.. In security point of view, i think, even a windows system can be broken if physical reach is there. But in some corporate or office setup, we can better secure it, by removing the CD drive (to prevent live CD option), disabling the recovery mode. I think, we can achieve this by tweaking the boot scripts. Any way, it was a fruitful discussion. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
