Puppy shutdown doesn't fully shut off power supply

#1 Post by webworm98 »

I have an odd problem with puppy linux and compaq ep deskpro. When I hit the power-off from the start menu or use the power off command. The computer only shuts the power supply partially off, which is not a good thing. This computer only has a huge heatsink and the power supply fan. I am using puppy linux version 1.07 that was made to work with windows 98SE. What I would like to do from puppy is disable power off command and the power off from the start menu. I do want to keep reboot command. The reboot items work without no problems.
