Daniel, It is _not_ necessary to install cAos Linux to use Perceus. Perceus supports most, if not all, distributions.
XCPU is bundled up as a module within Perceus. The documentation at http://www.perceus.org/docs/perceus-userguide-1.4.0.pdf is quite extensive at that and has details on importing and activating modules. It's quite simple even if you find yourself wanting to tinker with the XCPU Perceus module (it's just a shell script that runs at a specified provisioning state/level) -- Abhishek On Thu, 2008-08-28 at 14:17 -0400, Daniel Gruner wrote: > Yes, that is a possibility.
