[nflug] standby mode

[Darin Perusich]

you most likely have powersaved running on the system, running
'rcpowersaved status' as root will tell you where it is or not. if it is
you can disable it by running 'rcpowersaved stop' and 'insserv -r
powersaved'.

you can configure power management in yast under the system catagory. or
if you daring edit the files under /etc/sysconfig/powersave.
