But I'd like to have a gauge of some kind. When I try to install any of the battery apps I error out with "/dev/apm" notfound. Ihave "^device apm" compiled into the kernel. RH Linux finds the power-off device on one of the 1998 Kayaks. Didn't IBM have this on their hardware about the same time? thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
