Packages: Slackware

Slackware users should follow these steps to install Laptop Mode Tools:

  1. Download and install the most recent .tar.gz package.
  2. Add a line 

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/laptop-mode restart

    to your rc.local.

Note that the line is "restart" instead of "start because Slackware doesn't completely clear /var/run on bootup. The "restart" is needed to make laptop mode tools initialize itself correctly on bootup.
