I don't have them ;) On one keyboard i had the misfortune to work with, i wanted to pry them out cause i kept hitting shutdown instead of page down. But you're right, there are uses for apmd on desktop. Then the description needs to state it more clearly, cause many would disable it. > The > > "loading session" part in kde can be accellerated > by > > disabling KOrganizer (if someone wants to use it, > > he/she can find it in the menus) > > I don't think korganiser has a huge impact, and it's > point is to remind > you, not to tell you the things you want to be > reminded of when you > remember to run it, and it can easily be disabled. Well it's the only thing in the session? It has nothing to remind me of until i enter some tasks. And when i do it will automatically add itself to systray, so when i log off the session is saved and next time i boot it will be brought up. > Yay, then Mandrake samba print servers will now only > be usable 2 minutes > after having fully booted ... since we HUP samba a > minute after starting > it to give CUPS time to pick up all the printers (I > haven't removed this > since samba-2.2.8a can't update the printers > automatically as it is > supposed to - it worked in 2.2.7a though ...). .... obviuosly boot needs to be tweaked considering the planned use for the machine and other features (such as having sleep button on your keyboard ;) Which is exactly what I'm doing here. I'm tweaking my home machine and so i asked for some advice. > BTW, Windows (even Windows 2000) shuts down very > quickly (ie usually < 5 > seconds on my laptop), and I think the margin is > greater on shutdown ... I guess one can wait 15-20 sec for anything, but not much more. Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
