Allow me to make this suggestion, then.
Include such tweaks and comments as part of the "value added" by Mandrake, but leave
them commented out and provide a tweaks document that describes them, gives references
for their use and tells which script contains them. Then we can do some informed
tweaking and Mandrake won't be broken for many people.
BTW, the tweak did work for me as configured, and I even tweaked it some more after
reading man hdparm and doing some intelligent experimenting. Thanks, Mandrake, for
bringing it to my attention.
