Install the hwtools package. Among other things, it will create the file /etc/init.d/hwtools and /etc/rcS.d/S60hwtools will be a symlink to it. There is where you can put all the hdparm stuff. Also, note that you can put all your options on 1 command line: hdparm -c 1 -d 1 -k 1 /dev/hdd -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "Basically, I got on the plane with a bomb.
