+Laptop Mode Tools is a laptop power saving package for Linux systems.
+It allows you to extend the battery life of your laptop in several ways.
+It is the primary way to enable the Laptop Mode feature of the Linux kernel,
+which lets your hard drive spin down. In addition, it allows you to tweak
+a number of other power-related settings using a simple configuration file.
+
+To launch laptop-mode-tools on system start, add the following to rc.local:
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.laptop-mode ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.laptop-mode start
