After all, it's not really an *error* that your CPU or kernel doesn't support speed changes. And a guest OS has no business changing the CPU speed, since that will also affect the host OS. And only the host OS is in a position to see whether the CPU has little enough work that it's practical to scale back the CPU speed. James. -- James Wilkinson | Og just boggle how stupid spammer is.
