- Depends to what extent you mean.
- Someone posted patches to totally disable it, but if you just want it to sync and shutdown
- when you do the 3-finger salute, do
- ctrlaltdel soft
- in your /etc/rc
- (if you don't have it, it should be around - possibly in system-0.98.tar.Z, I'm not sure)

- Enjoy !
