Hi, So I'm wondering how someone would go about setting up a console-based, networked, multi-user system. You know, the kind of system from about 20-30 years ago with no GUI. it would seem that it has completely died out, even among the Linux/BSD/UNIX communities (as far as I can tell anyway). -It MUST be accessible via ssh -It would be nice to have a decent amount of packages So if anybody could help me out, i would be eternally grateful. Thanks, Stephen

That's what I'm thinking, i guess ill have to do it the hard way and "wait for the tamper evident sticker on the hard drive to peel of naturally"

That's what i was thinking, whatever the admin has done to it, its untouchable now (as is the registry, which i could edit a few days ago, grrrr)

I used 7zip when i decompressed it (yay Open Source) and it worked fine (it took forever). As for opening it, i was once able to open it but i don't remember the actual software i used (it may have been this: http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html ), but don't really think it was meant to be opened, just to be fed into a brute forcer.

No, it says that it has been locked by the admin. http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15380 This thread will describe my current situation.

Ok, so, about a week ago, i could edit my boot.ini, now i cant, even on my power user. I need a way to edit it, or at least elevate my privlages to Administrator. Can anyone help me? Please?

That is what i have been trying to do, but again, i am not sure how grub4dos addresses USB flash drives, also it is not clear how to configure the menu.lst This is the menu.lst # This is a sample menu.lst file.

My main problem is my not knowing how to configure the menu.lst, Also, i need to know how grub4dos addresses usb flashdrives. There dosnt seem to be any documentation on either.

It doesnt let us do very much more than normal, although I do have a super user that isnt affected by deep freeze.

So heres my new thought, i can chainload grub4dos, now my problem is that it wont mount the flash drive. Any sugestions?

When i open the bootsect.lnx file, what should it look like? When i open it in the Linux distros text editor, its just a bunch of periods, whn i open it in windows, its just a bunch of spaces.

I am very confused on how to do this. I have tried on at least 4 different distros and still cannot get any more then a blank, empty file.

I have a super user, (though anti-executable still affects normal pragrams, java programs and cmd tools still work), so i can edit hidden files and the changes will stay.
