I use it on my Potato (2.4 kernel too) without problems. I've got some difficulties installing the software, and then I wrote these lines somewhere on my harddisk. It can be useful for you I guess :) PS I used the source file from the install CD <quote> If you experienced problems while installing PowerChutePlus 4.5.2 (pc452_glibc.tar) on a Debian/Linux system, here's a solution (for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 rev 3, aka Potato) 1. Download libstdc++2.8 package via http://packages.debian.org/stable/oldlibs/libstdc++2.8.html 2. Install it dpkg -i libstdc++2.8_2.90.29-2.deb 3. Create /etc/rc.d temporarily, because of bad install path ln -s /etc /etc/rc.d 4. Install SmartUPS ./INSTALL 5. Remove the previous temporary link rm -f /etc/rc.d </quote> That's it.
