This would be useful for not allowing diskdrives (which is what a lot of people want) and creating a custom OS and such.

It's read only for security purposes as well. Imagine the fun a hacker could have with all of that being open for editing..

There should be an option to create a custom OS, put it in the LUA folder and then change the boot priority. In that way you will always have the original to fall back on during failures or hackers!

If your server owner does some code changes to rom it could load a custom OS on the pc :P/>/>

I think the point was to replace the shell for a certain computer, basically have a startup file that can't be overridden by inserting a boot disk.
