Re: fsck for Linux

linux now handles suspend mode quite well. and can start a normal shutdown
when battery levels get low, My shutdown under linux takes 8 seconds, I
removed all the modules loading, crammed the kernel tight and use a old
1.2x kernel. (Linux useable with GCC on only 20 meg's of space! Gotta love
the old versions!) Unfortunately the "advances" in the 2.0 kernels are
starting to make linux Bloatware. but that's why there are older and
smaller versions out there.. (And yes you can make a working Linux on 1
1.44 floppy!) Unless you want to use the latest and greatest X programs,
you can get away nicely with an older kernel.

Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to the -request
address of a mailinglist. ()

To subscribe to a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word "subscribe"
in the Subject: field to the -request address of that list.

To unsubscribe from a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word (you
guessed it :-) "unsubscribe" in the Subject: field to the -request address of
that list.
