Hi,

We have Ironkey encrypted flash drives at work and the menu they pop when inserted has a mount read-only option.

They are very expensive and the company won't buy them for contractors so I haven't tried them with Linux.

Cheers,
Paul.

Has anyone worked out how to make a bootable USB stick read only?
One nice feature of the CD is that it is read only so one can take it
from one PC to another and know that it has not caught a virus or such
like.
I have looked, but I cannot find a USB stick with a Read/Write switch
on it like the old 3.5 inch floppy disks or MiniDV tapes.
