Re: Changes for 4.0-RC2

Hi all,

Generally, I would be happy, if cpuscaling would be activated by
default in SliTaz 4.0 -

http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:cpu-frequency

I know the discussion about size, but I think
this 170 KB more would be a good investment - in the everage it saves
20% of the idle consumption on a desktop machine.

and also in kernel msr should activated - CONFIG_X86_MSR=m
