I tried this and failed for a long time and just read this a couple days ago. It works with one machine and not with another. I think that's because I don't have everything I need on the one that doesn't work. Anyway, I added this to /etc/lilo.conf and ran /sbin/lilo: append="apm=on apm=power-off" There were other things that could be done as well. They were listed in the Debian reference manual at http://qref.sourceforge.net/ Sometime I have to read that whole document, because it looks like it has a lot to offer. Anyway, there were some other options for getting the poweroff thing to work - modules to load or things to compile into the kernel. -- Anita GnuPG key: 1024D/9EDAC910 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
