>I personally just use shutdown -h now. You can always make a shell script in >/usr/bin with that command, named poweroff, if you don't want to type that.
You can also press Ctrl+Alt+Del to shutdown. U should change the entry in /etc/inittab to shutdown -h instead of shutdown -r. With warm regards Dileep Kumar M || [EMAIL PROTECTED] || http://kumarayil.topcities.com
