Got this in mail today. I really don't want my parents to read this!

Sub : Sighting of Panther in the campus
Residents of the campus may recall previous circulars issued on the subject cited above. Panthers were seen at various places in the campus during the last few days. All out efforts are being made to ensure that the panther is trapped/chased away from the campus by the Forest Authorities. Special patrols are being deployed everyday to patrol the most vulnerable areas where the panther is being sighted frequently in jeep and motorcycles equipped with high power search lights and fire crackers.
Campus residents are requested to inform any suspicion about presence of leopard on the telephone numbers given below:
Main Building Security Control
Intercom no.: ****, **** & ****
For the purpose of precautionary measures, the campus residents are requested to observe the following:-
1)Not to provoke the animal by stone throwing or attempting to hit it with anything.
2)Not to take photograph, nor should the animal be followed or make provocative gestures.
3)If the cubs are sighted, do not indulge in any provocation whatsoever, as the panther accompanying the cubs can be highly dangerous.
4)Not to allow small children unaccompanied by adults to move around during night.
5)Not to sleep outside and, doors and windows should be secured.
6)Lonely and dark stretches of roads should not be used during night.
7)When dogs bark or run frantically at night, it may be taken as warning of panther’s presence nearby.
8)Panther is afraid of lights and cracker bursts. Hence, it is advisable to carry a torch and flick it around while moving at night.
9)In case of a pet dog, it should be kept indoors at night.
The Institute has approached the authorities concerned to remove/scare away the panthers. This section will be bursting crackers during nights. Hence do not panic on hearing sounds of crackers.

How to mount NTFS partition in Linux
Well, these days, NTFS partitions do get auto-mounted. But it may get a little irritating when you are asked for the admin password every time you boot your comp and click on the partition.
So, to make the mounting "truly" automated, you have to add an entry to the file /etc/fstab.
In my case, I had to add
So, the first thing you have to do is - create a directory /media/cdrive. Then, to find out which device your ntfs partition is listed as, run
From what I can see, my NTFS partition is /dev/sda3. This is how my /etc/fstab looks after making the entry.

Reboot. You'll find your partition mounted :)
