Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hello,
I have red hat 9 installed on a Compaq Evo N800v laptop.
I've just upgraded kernel to 2.4.22 an decided to activate acpi, because with apm I had no ideia about the battery status, and I wanted to use the lid buuton to turn off the screen.
I followed all the steps indicated on acpi.sourceforge.net (patch acpi, patch dsdt and apply evo n800v dsdt). The n800v dsdt I used was downloaded from acpi.sourceforge.net dsdts download page.
Now I have battery info, cpu status and throttling (this last I didn't tried yet), lid and power button control, power resource info and ac adapter info.
I don't have fan and thermal zone info/control and I get some acpi error messages on boot time.
Do you think it may be a problem with the n800v dsdt file ? Or some bad configuration of ACPI ? Here is my dmesg (I am not shure if dmesg is complete, I think that there should be more messages on top):
