working with labtops whose BIOS can power on the computer at a scheduled time, I usually implement a daily shutdown for saving power (embedded applications). With DSL in a Frugal install, the shutdown is never complete for the operator should be able to remove the live CD and then push on a key.
Is there a way around that behaviour?

You might try the boot option "noeject"

the problem is showing up again with DSL 3.3 on a DELL Latitude C600. In spite of the noeject cheatcode, the LED indicating that the power is on remains lighted and only a push on the on/off button can put it off (and the automatic BIOS wakeup available on that labtop won't work as long as that LED is lighted).
Is there anything I could try?

See what power management stuff aka apm or acpi are enabled.. They're responsible for the actual power off...
