I woud like to power off my DSL system by the power button.
So when I press the button DSL would shut down the computer. Any one know how to get the ball rolling on this.
Thanks

Oh, I have DSL version 0.7.1 installed so it should have ACPI

i don't think that's what I need . I want the computer to shut down when the power button on the pc is pushed. Like in windows xp

If that does not work try holding in power button for 4 ,10 ,or15 seconds - some pc's go to standby unless U hold power button for preset time.
