   I like this idea. Especially since:

 * it took me a long time to find the "apm=on" trick. How are you
   supposed to guess this except by trying to recompile your own kernel
   and reading the help that comes with the APM item?

 * it took me such a short time to realize that APM support in the
   default kernel is minimal:
   - no console blanking
   - no 'CPU idle calls' -> the fan wakes up frequently

 * it took me such a long time to recompile a new kernel that included
   APM, PCMCIA and DHCP all working at the same time
