> Hi Guys, I have uploaded a slightly modified version of  Tuxedu to here:

> for pysycache - i still haven't found a way to lock down the hard drive 
> ( removing rights to mount FUSE filesystems didn't work) so if anyone has 
> any bright ideas let me know (e.g. isolinux arguments or fstab tricks) - I 
> can of course just block access to the file manager but this is a bit 
> drastic.

> So there are three things to do:
>
> Stop read/write access to internal hard drives
>
> Get Scratch working with Alsa, or installing Pulseaudio
>
> Improving performance by stopping unnecessary processes from running at

> I would appreciate any other feedback on the programs themselves - getting 
> children to test them would be good...
