Installing to flash disk gives you an option to install with an "n" option. Once installed in this manor the drive is protected from any changes, a reboot reverts the drive to just as it was. Now is there a way to change the umask=000 so that the drive can have changes made from time to time but locked down the rest of the time. I have young students that use the notebooks and the write protection is great until I need to add something.
