That is in fact the way I do my bank transactions.
I use a bootable Mandrake CD for that.
No room for kayloggers and the like this way.

I am a bit surprised to learn about banks that refuse to accept standard browsers like Firefox, Opera and the like.
I cannot belive there is even one bank in Scandinavia that stupid.
I would rather change my bank than change back to Windows and IE.

Now even with a bootable CD there is this question of "fake" CD:s droping in through the mailbox.

Security is not easy.
