Turn off wifi and all networking and turn down the screen brightness to the absolute minimum. Use the console (and not X), kill all unnecessary daemons. This will increase the chance the the CPU can enter low consumption mode while you ponder your code. That said, I doubt this will buy you much, probably less than half an hour. You can always try recharging the battery in the toilet using the shaver socket :) David _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
