battery.el: Rename display-battery-mode to battery-mode?

Hi, I tried to enable battery-mode on my notebook using `M-x battery- TAB' but I got "No match". Eventually I found `display-battery-mode' in `battery.el'. Shouldn't the name of the minor mode read `battery-mode' instead of `display-battery-mode'? --8<---cut here---start

set-* frame parameter functions (e.g. set-foreground-color)

You can run Linux with just a suitable initramfs using klibc. I am not sure what an initramfs is, or what klibc is. But I don't think that this could include programs such as Emacs, and the other programs you need to run Emacs, without being a lot more than just Linux. _
