Short battery life on Powerbook Prismo

Hi all, I have this 2 year old Powerbook G3 Firewire. For MOST of the 2 years, it's acted as a desktop (constantly plugged in, I put it to sleep before bed, etc.) but I do occationally want to lug it around. Of course, I'm running Debian on it. So the yesterday, I decided to bring it to work. U

Take a look at this guide by Branden Robinson. It is listed as being for an iBook, but I think it will work on any of the "New World" Macs. I was also able to install Debian 3.0 a few weeks ago by using just a ramdisk and kernel on my "Old World" 8500. http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.
