Just change the last sentence into: "Whereas the ACPI daemon is needed, the APM and CPUfreq daemons should not be run together with the powersave daemon." The whole explanation could be put into README.Debian but better not into the config file where short and precise information are preferred. powresaved.deb should also conflict with the apmd and cpufreqd packages if it does not already. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
