They are designed to do this to dissipate the heat. If you need the machine to run with the lid closed, you need a PowerBook. I don't think it's wise trying to find a way around it, since you will probably fry the machine (particularly as it seems to run much hotter whilst running Linux than OS X). -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org
