Are you thinking something along the lines of a hidden partition that can be
run from a certain series of key strokes (say F10) during boot like what's
seen with some OEMs? This is NOT an answer - in fact if you said "yes" then
I'd respond with "I'm not sure but will look." It's actually to try to
figure out what it is you're after so that someone smarter than me can come
along and tell you the answer and so I can see how it's done. <g> (Basically
I'm just trying to clarify your question for the next person because they'll
likely know a LOT more than I on that subject as it's something I've never
approached but have thought about doing - the OEM bit that is.)
