To turn off ATX power supplies on shut down is an option when you build the kernel. You may have to use real mode shut down, othewrwise the PC may hang.
As for regionless DVD players, I have a Panasonic DVD-A160 multi region player bought from Richer Sounds which is great :-)
Hope That Helps

All,
As usual it never rains but it poors. I have a number of questions, and was wondering if anyone else on the list could help.
- Is it possible to configure linux to turn an ATX pc off when you run
halt?
- Who was the person on mondays IRC who had started a open tshirts
project?
- Does anyone know if and what is happening on 29/04/01 with regard
National linux day? We only have 29 days left to plan!
- And finally, I currently refuse to buy a DVD player(as in Hi-fi
seprate) for a number of reasons, most notably I feel that region coding is an infringment on my rights. But I do feel alot happier with the idea of playing DVD's from linux with the DeCSS(or similiar) code. Can anyone advise on what I would need to play DVD's full screen(or even better 16:9 on a normal screen) with normal stereo sound out the sound card.
4-b) What would I then require to output the sound to a AC-3 decoder?
Thanks
D
