FYI: My laptop has Mandrake 8.0 installed. Kernel 2.4. I will have to try 2.2. (I should have thought of that; everything else in 2.4 is broken, why not power management as well?)

Maybe it is just that MS-Windows wastes more CPU time, and thus runs hotter, thus keeping the fans on? -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
