You can check by seeing if the directory /proc/acpi exists and is populated. To use apm, you will need to disable acpi. You do this by passing the argument 'acpi=off' to the kernel, either on the grub command line or in the grub configuration file, /boot/grub/menu.lst. (I'm assuming that you use grub; with lilo the procedure is similar.) -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
