#87 Removing everything except boot choosers
The title says it all really. Is there a way/version of the software that is "school network friendly" as such, which only enables users to select which boot partition they can go into? This software is exactly what we've been looking for to alternate between MacOSx and Windows, just the other few options available on boot look as if our students would take full advantage. Cheers,
Sam
An alternative is the Mac's built in Startup Manager.

but it requires you to hold the option key at startup, and only allows one legacy OS (Windows/Linux) per hard disk. Additional legacy OS's on the same hard disk would require a chain loading option be added to the Windows Boot Manager (look up EasyBCD at http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1\) or Grub2. But those BIOS based boot loaders don't support booting Mac OS X very well.
To configure rEFIt, edit the /efi/refit/refit.conf file.

If there is something that you want to remove from rEFIt that is not mentioned in the .conf file, then you'll need to download the source, make changes to the source, and recompile. I believe you can do that with free Microsoft development tools with some minor modifications. The build instructions are in the source code.
