CentOS - Oct 2006 - OT: Precautions before draining laptop battery?

Hi,

I have found some advice on the web regarding battery draining, 
but no linux-specific information.  Are there some steps to be 
taken to protect the harddrive?  Unmounting file-systems?

I would appreciate any advice.

Boot a Live CD, umount any mounted filesystems, then run the battery 
down.
