Re: [newbie] "Windows Shutdown Problem" in Linux?
Paul: I also saw this tip on your website, and I'm going to give it a try on Lazarus (he's the backup PC that I'm building from scrapbox parts). Since I'm also trying to learn something about shell programming, I dug through some Linux texts, but struck out. (1) What's happening here? (2) What's a good reference on shell programming?

A possible way to fix it is: change your /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt file. Change eval $command -i -d -p to eval $command -i -d No warranty, but it seems to help on some systems.

I have Mandrake 7.2 running on a Pentium II-350. I have no idea what type of motherboard it is except that it is from Gateway and is full of "integrated" components such as an nVidia Riva 128 zx chipset and es1373 sound card. It supports the advanced power management thing as well. I dual boot with Windows 98 and disabled the "fast shutdown" option (but more recently win98 still doesn't shutdown at all!). Thnaks, George
