I hacked the 1.1.x syscons driver to have it off by default. :) I'd hate to have to do that for 2.x. Also, for machines w/o multisyncing monitors (including those using the comconsole) it might be nice for the system to beep when it is ready to be turned off. There is a cngetc() call in the 1.1.5 kernel which waits for a key to be pressed when the system is ready to be powered down. I put a 'printf("\a")' before it to get a tone out of the box when it is ready to be turned off (the beep never stops, because interrupts/timers are disabled?). Is there any feature in 2.x which implements this beep? -Mark Taylor mtaylor@cybernet.com
