Do you mean that the fan stops from time to time? That would be
wonderful. Question is how to achieve this? Do you have lm_sensors
installed and did you ever run sensors-detect? I have good control
over the harddisk spin-down, but not on the fan.

Do you know of some options that give control over the fan. Well, I
tweaked different CPU options but to no avail. It seems the tpctl
cannot change the speed on the fly on my machine. If it is booted high
it stays high.

Yes, I have a dvd and no problems so far. I use it quite intensively,
actually, because the whole suse distro (7 CDs) is available also on a
dvd which is a great convenience.
