Hi all,
I'm making a Live CD (based on Xubuntu) for children. One of the
requirements is that the internal disks (IDE, Serial ATA and SCSI)
are not visible to the user, but I want to allow them to write on
USB disks... I've no idea how to solve this problem... please help
me!

Make your own kernel without support for IDE / SATA / SCSI
controllers.

No easy task, because he would have to put the whole content of the
Live CD into the initrd and let it load into the memory before
the kernel starts. Without this controllers the kernel can't access
the CD-Rom anymore.

Arrgh - good catch! Then it would only work with the system on USB stick
instead of CD. I know that is possible, but not all mainboards support
booting from USB stick.
