Title: Disable Ctrl Alt Delete?
Post by: thoard on May 13, 2013, 07:11:13 PM

I built a VMWare View client boot CD from the Tiny Core builder. When we boot to it and go into our virtual machine, if someone mistakenly hits control + alt + delete it goes back to a prompt for Tiny Core. I guess the question I have is, is there anyway to change those key assignments or completely disable them inside of Tiny Core? Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated  :)

Hi thoard
Don't know if this will work, but you could try commenting out the  ctrlaltdel  line in  /etc/inittab.

hi friends,

in my "usb-stick-mount-mode-installation" ctrl+alt+del just ends my xvesa-session, syncs the filesystem and then halts.
i have to hit ctrl+alt+del again to reboot the system...
is this the common and wanted behavior?

thank you for your comments.

@netnomad

It should reboot, it may be your bios that's not letting it. Once it's halted, the new ctrl-alt-del press goes to the bios and not the OS.
