You should never put yourself in group disk. This gives you raw rw

Thermal Information (tau) is enabled in kernel.

Same problem as before... :( But this time I was using the
pbbuttonsd 0.5.10-1 package.
To summarize, the battery of my PowerBook G4 got too low and the machine

I reopened the lid, I noticed that the PowerBook was in fact off.

If the battery is critically low the machine have to be set into
a safe state. This could be done on different ways.

The main problem is that it prevents from doing a recursive grep on

Please don't! This is *not* true, as pbbuttonsd has important bugs.
So, pmud is still useful.
