Hi all, I have been running fedora for a while, using a 1.6 GHz laptop. When ever I looked at /pro/cpuinfo, it tells me that I have an "Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz" but it's running at 598 MHz - slow as molasses. I went to looked around a bit to see what is throtteling the CPU and soon found 'cpuspeed' in /etc/rc.d/init.d that is being called when entering multi-user run-levels (3 and 5 are the ones I'm concerned with). I thought this is nonsense and removed the startup files. Now, the machine is lightning fast, much much faster than before. Since my laptop spends 99% of it's life on non-battery power (plugged into the wall/UPS), why do I want to throttle my machine so that it behaves like my old 1998 machine? What is thing doing, being installed by default? Best regards, Chris -- chris ruprecht - network grunt and bit pusher extraordinaÃre
