 One possible solution to the problem described here
 ([http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/TODO#Using_a_CD_helper_takes_a_lot_of_prep_time_before_and_after_class
 Using a CD helper takes a lot of prep time before and after class]) might
 be to set the PC BIOS to "boot from network before booting from hard disk"
 and to provide a network boot helper.  If access rights to the boot helper
 could be globally enabled or disabled according to the class period, then
 it wouldn't be necessary to change the BIOS boot option before and after
 class.
