Thanks > (using sarge, ker 2.4) You need to enable the APC item in the kernel. The easiest way to do this (and the only way I know) is to add an append line to your lilo.conf file. append="apc=on" run lilo again and then reboot. Once you've done this you should be able to shutdown and have the computer actually turn itself off. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D . monkey@monkeynet.ca D). ((` http://www.monkeynet.ca/ ( ) `
