no, cpufreqd does it dynamically, cpufrequtils statically and also includes an utility to inspect the current state (cpufreq-info). > As now the package's description is not very clear on what the package do what's not clear about that? > (i'll fill a bug for this), so it is easy to have a machine with both > cpufreqd and cpufrequtils installed at the same time (as i did).

As I see it these are complementary tools and one may well have one of them or both (as I have). cheers -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
