About:
Powertweak-Linux is a tool to tune your system to its optimal performance settings. It started life as the replacement for the now obsolete kernel option 'tune PCI bridges', and has been extended to provide more features and support more chipsets. It can also tune network/filesystem performance using /proc/sys entries, disk elevator settings, and x86 CPU registers (needs 2.2.18 or 2.4.0test kernel), CDROM speeds, hdparm type features, and Sony VAIO backlight. It has both a GTK GUI and a text-based lister.

My bad. Run ./autogen.sh and it'll get created.

I have tried unsuccessfully to uncompress both the gzip and bzip2 versions of this software after I have downloaded the tarball. The system I used to do the uncompression is RedHat 6.1, so I presume it is not a problem of old compression software. I get messages about CRC errors and data corruption; any ideas or suggestions?

Has anyone actually tried this? I'm reluctant to touch it, especially since there aren't any details as to what it actually does on the website.

I would tell you what it does, but when I run it I get:

powertweak: /usr/share/pci.ids, line 1930: parse error

and I don't know why!!!
