    Configuring Power Management on Fedora 15

    I've just [up?]graded from F14 (Fedora 14) to F15 - actually a fresh install, - but now I don't know how to set Power Management in F15.

    Are there any F15 users out there that use Power Management?

    I'd like my laptop to run when the lid is closed instead of going to sleep and stop the hard drive from spinning down, because it's got hardware encryption on it and it doesn't like to sleep and then be woken up.

    In fact, I'd like to completely avoid any kind of sleep.

    It looks like Fedora 15 is quite fancy but missing a lot of basic features that even Fedora 14 and earlier had (unless I'm somehow unable to find these features in an obvious place). If I can't figure out how to do power management I'll have to upgrade back to F14.

    Thanks.

    Here is how you can completely disable power management (APM and ACPI):
