Does anyone know the secret to getting Etch to power down the system after a halt. I have tried 'apt-get install apmd', but it doesn't seem to have helped. I know the hardware can do it, because it worked with the very old version of Ubuntu I tried before Debian (5.04). The machine is a Dell Precision 410 with new Etch netinst just done...
