dear all, Days before I've got my root's passwd changed by a friend. He told me that he booted from floppy which contain small linux distro, then "linux rescue" my system. Q: how to avoid ones boot from CD and Floppy to avoid linux rescue or som'thing ?

remove the floppy and CD from the "boot order" setting in your computer's BIOS. Then set an administrator password, to make sure others can't change it. Then seal the chassis to make sure noone can open the computer and reset the BIOS to system defaults or remove the hard disk and put it in an unprotected system.
