There is no powersave command on Fedora 8 by default. A lot of web information describes the use of pm-suspend/pm-hibernate etc. On Fedora 8 pm-suspend is in /usr/bin (as well as /usr/sbin) and thus expected to be called by end users. So, I believe, either pm-suspend should be made to work using the quirks by default or it should be made only usable by root. It is ** BAD ** to have a user runnable program that could relatively easily crash the system .... Mind you I think that these quirks should be built into the kernel :) Cheers Terry _______________________________________________ Pm-utils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils
