>This document describes how to optimize and configure power management
on a ready-configured Linux system for use on battery-powered laptops. This
will be helpful for everyone who runs Linux on a portable computer system.
APM/ACPI methods of power management are discussed along with 
power saving tips and techniques.  There is also some discussion about the
different types of batteries available.</P
