I mean if it's true than an installer from some GNU/Linux distribution that can't process thermal events from ACPI can lead to a hardware damage during installation of the distribution. Am I thinking right? Best regards, Sergiy Kolesnikov --- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
