Currently running Slackware 10 on the notebook. APM/ACPI didn't work in 9.1 either. I tried both bare and bareacpi kernels on the Slack disks and neither worked. Some recommended I upgrade to the 2.6.x kernel, so I was happy to see Slack10 came with the ability to install 2.6.7. However, I am having problems with that also! When I follow the instructions in the readme.initrd filed and I type the installpkg commands I get a file does not end in .tgz error. I am still very much new to Linux, so any help in the simpliest terms would be much appreciated. I have read countless articles and other links people give me, but it's just not sinking in.

Hi,

what kind of a notebook do you have (model,brand) ?
