wuah, forget what i said. it seems the correct way is to enable the hdparm setup in /etc/init.d/hwtools and do the stuff there. hwtools init scrip will also be started in single user mode. i just noticited it, after reading the thread. my setup comes from the old days, where we do now have a prepared startup script. while the hwtools package doesn't provide hdparm, it contains the setup script for it. my apologizes for spreading out-of-date information. - regards, turrican -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
