How do you do this? I've got a thinkpad R60, and I've been plugging it
in when it runs low, then (when I remember), unplugging it when it
reaches full charge. Is there some way to automate this? I know the
Windows partition has some configuration options, but I don't know how
to do this under Debian.

Thanks,
