Bug ID: 296151
Summary: [request] bsdinstall(8): detect battery and optionally
enable apm(8)
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: petercs@purelymail.com
I had an idea from a post on mastodon and this (sort of) relates to the laptop
desktop working group.
When installing, it might be worth checking if a system has a battery and
supports APM. If it does, bsdinstall could prompt the user asking if they'd
like to enable APM.
This would mean a new user doesn't necessarily have to discover apm(8) on their
own to improve their laptop battery life.
