Hi everyone.

I would like to know if there is any back-port of ACPI to 2.2.
Problem: 2-way machine, so APM does not work.
I would love my box powers down when I shutdown...just like macs.

Make sure APM is compiled in and put append="apm=power-off" into your
lilo.conf

Thanks, 'append="apm=power-off"' worked in my 'oldie' 2.2.18-pre24.
This is beginning to look like a real computer...
