Help on Laptop Tunning :-)



Hi,

I have a laptop with Debian Woody stable. (i'm a newbie to debian, so please this probably is a stupid question :-)

I've installed KDE3.0.4 and KDevelop 2.1.3, and among these packages i've installed htdig (Kdevelop said it would be nice to have it installed...) the problem is that every day i start my laptop it runs HTDIG... the problem is that if i'm on batery... i think i'll waste lots of power with this process...

I want to be able to run HTDIG only when i want or something like once a month or week... (since my files don't change alot) I've been looking on htdig.conf but i can't find out where can i tell when to run... and i've been looking under /etc/init.d/ and don't find any script to run htdig...


the second problem is my network... when i'm offline the laptop performs allright, but when i'm on the network it get's too hot... my configuration is:

under /etc/hosts
  127.0.0.1	localhost	shadow
  10.0.0.22	shadow

  # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
  # (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

  ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
  fe00::0 ip6-localnet
  ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
  ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
  ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
  ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

under /etc/network/interfaces
  # The loopback interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian instalation
  # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)

  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.22
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.0.0
        broadcast 10.0.0.255
        gateway 10.0.0.1

and finally under /etc/resolv.conf
  # search domain
  nameserver 212.18.170.2 212.18.170.3


the strange thing i notice is that my hub get's lot's of colisions. (I've been using these configurations on a windows machine and they were allright...)

the interfaces file is run on boot of my debian system so i don't know what is making so much colisions? can it be the SAMBA deamons? or the LISA server?
