Hi, I've been lurking on the list here for the last month while I've been setting up a Debian Linux system (slink upgraded to potato running kernel 2.2.14) on a Thinkpad 755CD. It's been a poignant and, oftentimes, frustrating experience but also exhilirating to be moving off the reliance of MS and Win*.
Anyhow, I'm just about finished the install and have a couple questions: 1) when I try to suspend the laptop by closing the case or using 'apm -s', nothing happens. Using the command, I get an error message 'Cannot open APM device: Permission denied' However, I am able to start apm and have it notice AC off-line/on-line events. Could someone explain the meaning of this error? 2) I am trying to understand the SystemV boot/shutdown sequences but coming from the DOS/Win* world am having some difficulties. Could someone give me a good technical reference article or FAQ about how this all works? Thanks in advance, William -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.knowmad.com On the farm in Lopez, WA
