Does anyone know the secret to getting Etch to power down the system

seem to have helped.
I know the hardware can do it, because it worked with the very old
version of Ubuntu I tried before Debian (5.04).
The machine is a Dell Precision 410 with new Etch netinst just done...

Hi Digby. Just an update. I found the the link to the bugreport for the
shutdown problem. It may, or may not resolve your problem, but is below.

Cordialement.

Hi Nigel,
I went through that bugreport, and creating a /etc/modprobe.d/apm containing
options apm power_off=1
fixed it for me.
Many thanks for all the pointers.
Regards,
DigbyT
