how to assign the halt -p command to the laptop power button

Hello,

When I was using FC, I had a great feature

I'm sure it was not something particular to FC and that it can be performed by gentoo... but god damnit how! lol

I would like to assign to the Power button of my laptop, the halt -p command. So whenever I push it, it would shutdown the computer.

Any idea on how to do that?

Thxs in advance
Ludo

I do it on my laptop with acpid. Well I used to but I haven't set it up again. It's fairly easy to use and I think the default settings map your power button to the halt command.
