RE: [newbie] shutdown is not swath off!
I Checked and 'apmd' is installed. In the process monitor it shows as sleeping. Maybe if as a user I had rights to this process? But I tried to shut the computer off when I was actually logged in as root. It still didn't work.

You could also try installing apmd, which handles power management. It's also possible that it's installed, but not running. Check to see if it's activated in your services (Mandrake Control CentreSystemServices) to see if it's activated at boot. If you don't find it in the list of services, it's probably not installed. APMD will usually manage your power-off function by communicating with acpi, but it may also shut your monitor down into standby mode after 15 minutes or so. However, if you don't like that feature, you can edit your XF86Config-4 file found in /etc/X11, and comment out the Option line regarding DPMS. Then restart your X server.

Recompiling the kernel is not trivial. Most of us can shut down without having to do this, so it should be left until you have no other option.

This looks like very good solid advice. I will try it later today and will let you know;o) Ann Also thank you, I think you are absolutely right.
