I suspect that what you were missing is not so much frequency scaling, but plain acpi support (package acpi and acpid) after the installation. In the daily builds of the installer (post-Sarge versions), these packages installed automatically for systems that have acpi support. Supporting frequency scaling out of the box would be a nice option, but is probably less essential. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
