Weird or no, it's pretty nice when you have it set up right. Just press the power button, and it shuts everything down cleanly and powers down. Can APM do that? (that's a legitimate question, not a smarmy nah-nah remark.) If your board supports it, I'd recommend enabling ACPI in the kernel and installing acpid to get that working. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
