Once it is downloaded you can enable "Let me keep change" and do what every you want inside the LivePC. Install programs, surf to any site, etc. When you're tired of installing programs, shutdown the LivePC and then turn disable "Let me keep changes. Now start the LivePC again. Nothing to download since the Subscribed/Downloaded LivePC is already in your cache. (make sure you allocate enough cache so you the LivePC can fit). Now you get to do it all over again and use your LivePC for whatever you wish. If you needed to update the LivePC in the future, disable "Let me keep changes", start the LivePC to ensure that it is clean. Shutdown from inside the LivePC. enable "Let me keep change" and make the changes you need and just package and upload using the shallow option. This will upload only the new changes to save time.

In order to clean and lock down a clean state, you need to save that state first. Here are the steps: - Create your Windows XP LivePC - Package it (Under the Advance Options) - Upload that LivePC to a webserver. You can do upload it to moka5.com server now with out least release. - Subscribe to that LivePC Now you will have a LivePC that you can always revert back to. If you need to update the LivePC, you just change it and package it up again.

"Lock down this LivePC" is a feature in our professional edition of the LivePC Engine. The IT system admin will use the "Let me make changes" option to create and customize the LivePC. Then he will also select "Lock down this LivePC" option. Next he will package and upload this LivePC and his users will subscribes to this LivePC using the professional edition of the LivePC Engine. That version of the Engine will honor the "Lock down this LivePC" option and will not present the "Let me make changes" option to the general users. Hope this helps. Tue, 10 Apr 2007 19:09:20 -0700 http://www.moka5.com/node/740 I am a little bit confused. What happens if I choose "Let me make changes" and "Lock down this LivePC?" That is, what exactly is "Lock down?" How is it work combined with "Let me make changes?" Thanks again, Peter Tue, 10 Apr 2007 08:07:09 -0700
