hdparm - Get/set hard disk parameters HOWTO

ChangeLog


Apr 7, 2006	- 6.3 -> 6.6
		- Removed the note about trouble with Slackware 8.1, I
		  no longer have access to anything that old

		- Added uninstall notes to the bottom

		- Updated Slackware note for 10.2
		- Run chown -R root:root on the source directory when

		- 5.9 is no longer on ibiblio, added a note about the build
		  problem and removed the 5.9 section
		- Removed the note about making a symlink in /usr/sbin, just

		- Added 'strip /sbin/hdparm' to strip the binary.  On boxes
