Where is it getting turned off? Why isn't me turning it back on mentioned? By the way, of the other experiments: insmod: apm: no module by that name found I sure don't understand linux modules. It cannot be found, but one can turn it on at the boot prompt. So I even did installed powermgmt-base, because I think there were some "apm" words in there... zanier and zanier... coocoo By the way, to read Chinese file names from vfat disks, on mandrake one can see lsmod: nls_cp950 98064 2 (autoclean) nls_cp437 3952 2 (autoclean) whereas on debian I search low and high for anything with "950" in its name... no go. Is this another item for lilo append? Only then can I use them as fstab options? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
