Fair point, although if it was a teaching class then I would have pushed for the install to be in a virtual environment. You can then easily lock down network access and revert any changes done by the student. Do one install and then copy the image to all the others. It still scares me how academics insist that their students should be let loose on the network with root access to a nix box, dang it teach good security principles as well please!
