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

Oct 20, 2005 - 6.1 -> 6.3
- Updated Slackware note for 10.2
- Run chown -R root:root on the source directory when

problem and removed the 5.9 section
- Removed the note about making a symlink in /usr/sbin, just
add one
- Added 'strip /sbin/hdparm' to strip the binary. On boxes
of mine that run the stable binutils (2.16.x) this did
nothing, on one that runs the binutils beta (2.16.91.0.2)
it made it a whopping 433 bytes smaller
