Re: deb vs. rpm

Re: Web site shuts down Netscape

Hi! I seem to remember, that this was asked before, but can't find it in the list-archive: 1) What causes the HD activity every 3 seconds? That way powersaving will never take effect. 2) How can I change the setup, so that the HD will not be needlessly acsessed? TIA Thorsten Manegold
