Well, it has probably been done, because windows is able to do it (on the same computer) ! As for Linux, apm's doc talks about it, but it is not clear at all. > On my Compaq PII350, they've put a <huge> aluminium heatsink > on the processor and left out the fan.

I compiled APM with "Enabled at boot time" and "Power off on shutdown". The package you're talking about must be apmd. It seems to be what I need, but I don't understand anything to the doc, and the /etc/apm directory is almost empty :-( Maybe apmd is limited to laptops... I really don't know. -- Thibaut Cousin email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://www.kde.org/fr -------------------------------------------------------- Linux : Ne jetez plus votre argent par les "Fenêtre$" !!
