Hi,
I have an ASUS 1001P with Rev 1202 BIOS. It does not recognize the hard
drives boot sector. Apparently ASUS was aware of this and created a
Boot-Tool for Linux that runs on Windows. I can't get that thing to work on
XP or Windows 7. It asks for a bootable CD ROM, but when I provide one,
nothing

The recent discussion around Xpra reminded me of something much more

Is there some way to setup a machine such that one user can login into it
