hello plug. well you helped me get ssh to work across networks so that now I can build an LFS OS on another computer as opposed to on another partition or onto a virtual machine. I installed Debian as the host OS to build LFS on. All is well except it falls asleep after five minutes and I can't compile things if it is going to fall asleep in the middle of the build. So I googled for a solution and found:

---
In the /etc/default/grub, modify the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to look like this:

$ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=acpi=off apm=off

---

Well that is good except  on the debian system it reads:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

I think the 'quiet' merely tells it not to print any boot text so I can just delete it but I am unsure. However, if I want to keep it quiet would I make it like so:
$ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" acpi=off apm=off

???????????
