It turns out I *must* run apm.add or else the battery widget doesn't work=
.  And before I added 
apm.add, acpidaemon wasn't in my config.sys (or perhaps I didn't do somet=
hing right when I ran the 
acpi wizard=3F).


A problem I am having that I haven't figured out yet:

The config.sys hangs with 2 lines output "route not reachable" and after =
some time  'Press Enter to 
continue'.  I believe the long wait before "press enter " is the wait for=
 llaecs as noted below.


RUN=3DC:\MPTN\BIN\CNTRL.EXE    <-- then 2 lines on screen for route unrea=
chable
CALL=3DC:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C C:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD >NUL
RUN=3DC:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NBTCP.EXE   <--- after Enter is pressed to conti=
nue


MPTSTART contains 'call llaecs /s /w:30'

I don't usually run dhcp client on my T61 but decided to try it out when =
I did my last install.  I 
usually use a static IP.  The /W above is to wait for DHCPCD.  

I am getting DHCP from a linksys wrt54g  I am currently using ethernet (I=
 haven't set up wlan yet).  
If I type out the commands for setup.cmd & mptstart.cmd manually after bo=
otup I don't get any 
errors so I figure it's a timing issue with not getting an IP soon enough=
 for the config.sys to 
process it.

So I am wondering if I can change something to make this work correctly.

Thanks, Jon
