Some justification is in its place here: 1) I multi-boot the next systems:
- DOS 6.22 / Win95 (neetly split by system commander) - Win NT 4 - Linux (work partition) - Linux (test partition) - (not booting: 2x data and swap) 2) System commander has a user managment system that allows you to setup users. You can deny users to boot partitions and/or see data partitions. 3) It easy to setup and use.
