Hello I have an old IBM aptiva and have some questions about power saving mode. I can issue the command apm --standby and the machine drops in to power saving mode, but with in five minutes comes back up how can I keep it from doing that, is there some kernel option I should include/exclude to prevent this behavior? thanks ----- Patrick Turnage E-mail: pturnage at tampabay.rr.com AOL Instant Messenger: kg4dqk Home Page: http://www.access-connect.com
