Hello World,

 I have a old 486 which doesn't have the power management feature. (i.e.
the hd will never spin down). And I am running slackware 3.4 (with
2.0.35 kernel running) Is there any patches/add-on to the kernel that
can spin down the hd when it is not in use? I know this is "doable" via
software because windowz95 can do this....

 Thanks

Derek
