The jumper did the trick. I moved it so it is just on one pin, and that 
disabled the BIOS password. I also removed the battery for kicks and grins. 
Happily installing SuSE 9.0 Pro. Once a basic install is done, I'll install 
and test Squid, then install and test Squidguard.

That's a lot of goofiness to keep someone from surfing p*rn on my work laptop. 
It would have been easier and cheaper to just change the password on the 
laptop and not give it up. I'll rethink the strategy - and either keep a 
proxy server, or turn the Dell into a PC for the kids to mess with.
