Hi All; I've just installed Mandrake 10.1 Community Edition (2.6 kernel) onto my Packard Bell 4451 laptop from a recent Linux Format cover DVD, which is all working fine apart from the ACPI hardware. There's no battery monitor/icon on the task bar, and the ACPI options in the system set-up dialogs complain about missing/not-working ACPI drivers. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find these elusive driver(s)? I'm sorry I don't know anything about the actual hardware - any way I can "probe" it to find out? Also, Mandrake has mounted my FAT32 partition fine, except that only ROOT has read-write access to it; normal users (i.e. me) are read-only. Do I need to change something in /etc/fstab, and if so, what? Don't want to have to "su" every time I need to save some work. Have just rejoined the list after being away in New York since mid-November. Did I miss anything?! I notice you went with the name change to GLUG - an admirable step! BTW: Some Debian 3 advocacy; deployed a mail server at the school using Debian 3, Exim & Squirrelmail during summer 2004, which has now been running continuously ever since .. 180 days and counting.
