.wav --> restore pristine computer

[rhiebert at sd6.bc.ca]

We gave up on Foolproof 18 months ago and started using DeepFreeze, which claims
to forget all changes made to the computer when it is rebooted. So far I have no
reason to doubt it.

Robert

Has anyone decided to stop using these strange security programs and
just come up with a good method for restoring (re-imaging, as some
like to call it) the computer to a pristine state?

If there was a way to restore a windows installation over the local
network with just a floppy disk, would people stop using these security
programs, or are there other issues involved?

Any thoughts?
