Hi,

I've recently installed YellowDog 2.2 on my Powerbook G3 (Lombard).

Since installing, I've noticed that my CD / DVD drive spins down a lot so=
oner=20
than I would like it to.  For instance, I'll use it & then after about a=20
minute of inactivity it goes to sleep.  Next time I want to use it I have=
 to=20
wait for it to spin back up.  This is okay if I come back three hours lat=
er=20
and want to use it :), but not 2 minutes later.

Is there any way to adjust this?  I don't remember it acting like this un=
der=20
MacOS.

Thanks!
