Herbert and Raul,

Thanks for your help.

Indeed, it seem that after rebooting my machine forgets about the fact that I
was playing with the fan status. What I don't understand in Raul's message is
why I should compile a new kernel. The one I have is OK and does not seem to be
screwed up by my experiments with the fan. Should it be? This is what seems
like from Herbert's message. I don't want to make experiments with the risk of
burning my CPU, but yesterday night (after a reboot) the (outside) temperature
was low and the fan was off, even though in my previous experiment I put it in
position one. This for me is the confirmation that everything is OK. What I
don't know yet is whether this is OK also within the same session. If there is
any documentation about that, please let me know (for instance, I found echo 0
and echo 3 just by guessing).
