Here's the drill. Follow it for best results. 1. log in as root or SU. 2. Type: shutdown -h now 3. Wait till Speakup tells you "power down". 4. Then, and only then turn off the power. I think you can find documentation by looking at the man page for shutdown. Yep, yepper, I just checked, it's most complete. have fun! Ann P. -- Ann K.
