"laptopkernel is a patchset for the linux kernel containing several useful patches for laptop-users. It contains acpi, software suspend, supermount and some hardware compatibility patches. Look at the latest news-announcement for a complete list of patches. Note: We, the authors of laptopkernel, did not write those patches. We just put together a nice collection of patches useful for laptops. If you want to credit people, credit the original patch authors for their work." Since Mandrake has acpi, software suspend, supermount, and some hardware compatability patches (ie Thinkpad drivers), what's different? BTW, it might be an idea to have a kernel image for laptops, built possibly with the battery-life patch, but I would hate to see a seperate kernel, requiring even more dupicates of kernel module packages (ie NVidia, ltmodem, AVM etc etc).
