Configuring Deep Freeze

If all partitions are Frozen on a machine, a user can create, save, change, and delete files. However, all 

changes are temporary, unless a Thawed partition is being utilized. The complete contents of a Frozen 

partition are restored at restart. 

All changes made in Deep Freeze only take effect after a restart. 

Launching Deep Freeze

To  launch  Deep  Freeze,  click  the  Deep  Freeze  icon  in  the  kicker  panel  and  select 

Configure  Deep 

Freeze

:

 

Alternatively, enter su -c “

dfl -g”

 in a terminal window and press 

Enter

.

Deep Freeze appears, with two tabs: 

Boot Control

 and 

Partitions

. On all tabs, the 

OK

 button saves and 

closes the Main Screen; the 

Apply

 button saves any changes but does not close the Main Screen; the 

Cancel

 button closes the Main Screen, but displays a warning prompting the user to save any unsaved 

changes (if they exist) prior to doing so. 

Boot Control Tab

Deep Freeze appears with the 

Boot Control

 tab selected.

The
