Let's all jump on the Pillory Kevin bandwagon!

Kevin Free

Okay, no one is calling him a hero. But look at the sentence he was handed. For "stealing" thousands of dollars' worth of software that was later released as FREE as in source? Oh, yeah... You have to charge someone with a crime within DAYS, not YEARS. And about this whole "Kevin is such an evil guy" reading other people's data... He checked out Shimmy's data and Shimmy got mad but what the FUCK was Shimmy doing? Developing packet analysis tools for the US Government to read data without authorization! The irony of a man who is an enemy of the people trying to act like a hero for tracking down Mitnick... Let's not forget John Markoff falsely claiming in the NYT that Mitnick broke into NORAD... Give me a fucking break, it's not about Kevin being a hero, it's about how being a bit inquisitive gets you a disproportionate amount of jail time, under circumstances where the guy who busted you is MORE morally culpable than you, and the authorities keep you until they can properly invent what to charge you with.
I didnt have time to really do a great job but I took a stab at exploring how to "optionalize" many windows components... If anyone has improvements, send them along... FDV (vor7ck@earth7link.net, remove the digits)

Create Windows installation CDs that won't install IE (and/or many other things, like Outlook):
A howto + files for Windows 2000
Free (as in beer) software with no howto for Windows 2000, 2003, and XP
Customize 2k before installing files and instuctions
Uninstall IE and OE, etc from a 2k machine that already has them
Customize Win2k, 2k3, XP before installing
Build a CD of Windows 2000 without IE (or Outlook, etc. etc)
Build a CD of Windows 2k, XP, or 2k3 without IE (or Outlook, etc. etc)
Download an IE removal program for Win2k
