Hi, I assume you mean the CPU frequency scaling monitor? This doesn't monitor CPU activity per se, it's for use with mobile processors with Speedstep technology. When the CPU isn't being maxed out it will run at a lower clock speed to save energy (to extend battery life) - mine flips between

I've used it in Feisty. When you're finished with the temporary user account, you issue an oem-config-prepare command as root and shut the machine down. The next boot takes you (ie. the end user) through a config wizard to create a user, set the timezone etc. Regards, Tom On Sat, 2007-10-20 at
