Thx for answering. Tried that. And yes, it's on a hard, flat table top. Also tried to set the laptop on its side, vertically - no go. Also tried a big table fan - no go. My impression is, Lenny doesn't scale my CPU; well, I know from experience (happens when my OpenSuSE install - although very rarely - locks up) that when maxed out (2 GHz @ 100% usage), the lapdog (no pun intended) will overheat BY DEFAULT, NO MATTER what I do. I suppose it's just not meant to be used without CPU scaling - by design... Just as car engines won't work without cooling, if you know what I mean. Should perhaps point out that this does NOT happen on ANY other linux distros I've tried, and I've tried many - from Fedora and Mandriva to Damn Small and Ubuntu. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
