I don't mean to sound too critical, but I think the multiple spelling errors detract from this otherwise interesting guide. I know other guides have the same problem, so I'm not just picking on vermaden here. In my opinion guides should be given special care from ordinary posts and be written with a minimally educated user in mind as they may take an error at face value.

A few things besides spelling (that are somewhat important):

powerd defaults to use adaptive mode, so the following line would be sufficient:
Code:
powerd_flags="-i 85 -r 60 -p 100"
Just out of curiosity, could you also explain why you think these are better values than the defaults? Especially the polling interval.

Not everyone uses sudo, and since the prompt is already '#', I think that would be sufficient enough to explain that the command needs to be run as root.

Thanks...just trying to be constructive.
