Some distros add an rc script for hdparm whenever it's installed. Debian doesn't. Others have hdparm or "harddisk" settings in their configuration directories where you can add switch options that will get passed to hdparm during boot. Perhaps the package maintainer for hdparm could consider similar things for Debian. On the systems that do this, no settings are changed or anything done to the hdparm settings without the user changing these files, there's just a nice place to put all of it pre-configured to accept the hdparm info that gets installed with hdparm. It's more convenient but not a necessity... -- Nate Duehr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
