Hi all,
recently, linux-image packages are compiled with smp
option and I encountered a problem on old up(non-smp)
machine with apm but not with acpi.
The power-off at shutdown didn't work even if I setted
apm=on, and/or apm=power-off etc. in grub menu.
Is there any smart way to make power-off

Personally I feel that the "internal" in the name really should have
been a big enough clue, and I don't want to include a file that's not
meant to be used just because some idiots have written software that

Hi all,
As Javier noted just after releasing Sarge [1], we need better
documentation integration tools in Debian. Yes, we have dhelp [2], but it
lacks loads of features, and it's not what I would call "in shape" [3]. I have
tried to fix this situation, mostly by organizing and merging bug repo

system-wide mail fetcher, but can be used and configured by a user to

Gentoo uses basically the same setup as Debian, i.e. it installs 64-bit
libraries in /usr/lib and it has a symlink from /usr/lib64
