Not necessarily but you can do it if you want to. The shell has stored
your login name in the $USER variable and I used it in the commands
above so I didn't have to guess your login name. :)

You can find out where it is with the command
mount | grep sda1
where the output might look like
/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ext3 (rw)
where /media/sda1 is the mount point. If you have something different,
you should replace it in the commands above.
