Due to the idea of fabian (or some others before him) : 'Save persistant home on USB memory stick' ,I've come up with the idea of a place where people can upload their home drives (in img file form).
Naturally certain rules should then be considered as the first one => keep the img file as small as possible.
One img file i'm considering for our helpdesk is one with a desktop filled with shortcuts to scripts and progs as : fprot scanner,smbmount scripts for data recovery on our local W2K domain,.. .
