[K12OSN] IE requirement

[jam at mcquil.com]

Les,

Why does mozilla's roaming profiles not work ?

The profile should be stored in the users home directory.  they log in,
and they get their profile.

The only time you should see the profile manager dialog is if the same 
user is logged into more than one terminal at the same time.
