First, may I suggest obtaining the current init program from
sunsite.unc.edu. It's something like 2.01. It has a definition for
defining what CTRL-ALT-DEL does. I cannot guarrenty this, but if
nothing is defined, nothing should happen.

The other "alternative" is to use 0.99.10. On my system anyways,
CTRL-ALT-DEL works with 0.99.9 and NOT 0.99.10.
