In other words, may you please assist by letting me know if there is some way i can secure my Debian     installation with the following configuration...           The security configuration i am interested to set is:           - Debian does not boot without preconfigured pendrive stick in USB port

Please may you inform if this is possible with open source softwares? Also, please may you explain which the softwares is?           Thank you
