Re: power-shut-off... again
I'd suggest that you check in your BIOS after exiting
Windows 95 but before booting into Linux, and verify
that APM is as you left it; another user found that
W95 was altering his BIOS settings to reflect control
panel settings, with the result that he got unexpected
power-off's in Linux.
