I have a Dell SC420 Is there a way (based around this patch) to allow users to enable and set the auto-power-on BIOS feature? (ie tell the BIOS to power on at 3:40am, power the system down, watch it power up at 3:40am) Normally I'd use 'nvram-wakeup' but it dosen't understand the Dell BIOS. If so what I'd _like_ to do is send a patch to nvram-wakeup that tests for this capability and uses it if it's there. David --
