Hi, Pietro.. I don't have a direct answer, but one thought occurred to me. Do you have a way to boot again from either of the other releases again to see if it goes back to your ~4 hour expectation? That's all I got, grin. It would have to be almost exactly the same as before. In other words, it's.... well, on second thought, I don't know. Can anyone present a test screnario where the power usage would be at least somewhat similar without having to undo a new installation? What I'm imagining is testing via a memory stick'ish or external hard drive situation. Not scientific, but it might yield something of possible use, anyway... Or not. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
