I can't remember if Debian's default kernel has an apm module or not but you can find out. If you type insmod apm as root, you should get some form of brief happy success message. If this works, add apm to the end of /etc/modules. > By the way, on mandrake when we do shutdown -h now, we see a > comforting sequence of messages about this and that being turned off > one by one, however with debian's poweroff we see one or two messages > --- we don't even know if it has properly turned everything off in > sequence or did we use some emergency stop command for use in case of > fire only. Strange, on my Debian system it shows everything shutting down...you sure you were looking at the correct tty? Plus, after it says system halted, you could always just push (or hold) the power button on the case...that should work, too... APM isn't enabled by default because it's not a reasonable expectation that every machine Debian will be installed on will have APM support; this is a feature, not a bug. - -- Baloo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9CDGGNtWkM9Ny9xURAo0eAKCOcc0MW9VLbWLA634lUJGobqL71QCfU0hW 0gaPsaGUAxqi7UUySXRbtTI= =Uumc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
