Linux newbie questions

In the file /etc/inittab, edit the line
	ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
to your liking. For instance:
	ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo "Don't press that!"
Restart and you're all set!

'mkdir /mnt/win; mount /dev/hda1 -t vfat /mnt/win', assuming /dev/hda1 is
the partition you want to mount. I'm pretty sure about this, but I haven't
mounted anything locally in a while. If I'm wrong, someone let me know.
