Since 1.9.1. is still an experimental version and some installations are buggy(I saw it on the forums) I prefer to stay on 1.8.1

Is there a way to get the right repostories (or install hd-idle) on this version?

Thanks

You could recompile your own version of 1.8.1 and include that module

I'm not so advanced in this... It's easier for me to install 1.9.1

Installed 1.9.1 - works as a charm.

Hd-idle has a nice configuration file. Edited it to fit my needs and all is OK.

Hope this post will be useful for anyone.
