            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.
