How about if the floppy in question is an BS> MS-DOS disk? I'm not sure this would be the best way to do what you want, since in Unix user configuration info lives in the home directory. This means you'll end up with some horrible windows-like situation where data and configuration are all gunked together. How about this alternative: 1. Let people log in and create accounts per your plan, but keep their home directory on some kind of quasi read-only (or otherwise quota'ed) store. 2. Mount the floppy as /home/user/documents and make them do their work on the documents. This means they can still have .<foo>rc files that make sense in the context of the lab, but can have documents that they can carry around. Alternatively, I suppose, you could have them have /home/user mounted as floppy1 and /home/user/documents as floppy2. That seems cumbersome and not very user-friendly, though. R
