It used to be in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, then got moved (I think) to
/etc/rc.d/rc.system, now it's in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime. Just
comment out or delete.
I liked it better in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, British spelling or not. And the
"safe" defaults applied equally to all drives by the script are not really
useful. One should do their own hdparm config to wring the most from it.
Is rc.local called before or after mandrake_everytime? I don't recall.
