Yup totally agree. And the name 'powernow' gets confused with AMD's scaling technology.
Moving this to a new package called something like 'cpufreq-scaling' and having a new '/etc/default/' configuration file with proper relevant options needs to be done. It's too late for Feisty, but perhaps we can peg it for the next release after that. ** Summary changed: - Purpose of this package? + cpu-scaling setup initscript should be moved to new package ** Changed in: powernowd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- cpu-scaling setup initscript should be moved to new package https://launchpad.net/bugs/93409 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
