This is done by apm. It sounds like you run a fairly stock set up, so you should be able to get this working fairly easily. Add the following line to your /etc/lilo.conf and then run lilo (both must be done as root). append="apm=on" You may also need to add apm to the list of modules to be loaded at boot: echo apm >> /etc/modules HTH, Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.4.21-looxt93c #1 Thu Jun 26 15:38:09 JST 2003 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
