Hi again,
When I Shutdown the computer on redhat 9, the computer stays on,... ie. I
get the long list of all the processes being turned off, then it says
"Power down" and the hard drive shuts off, but the computer is still on.

CAn anyone tell me how to fix? 


Thanks for your help,


Schewdent.

Use "acpi=on" or "apm=power-off" as kernel parameter.

You have terminals available in a graphical environment. Just type poweroff.
