Subject: Re: linux from scratch
again.... I need to ask about the sleep thing. The proposed solution is to
modify */etc/default/grub*, by making the line that starts:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

look like this:

$ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= "quiet" acpi=off apm=off
and then my questions about this are:

-quiet refers to depressing the start up text
-ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- is an open industry
specification co-developed by Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix,
and Toshiba.
-APM- Advanced power management- the predecessor to acpi (so they didn't do
away with apm but merely added acpi on
