That would be "hibernate" or "suspend to disk". I was talking about "suspend to RAM". The whole point of "suspend to RAM" is that not much needs to be written to disk during suspend, and not much needs to be done upon resume to continue. Its supposed to be fast already, certainly faster than shutting down and rebooting. > The one situation I'd want to use shutdown instead is if I had a bunch > of windows open that I don't want to lose, and I need to leave the > machine for such a long time that I don't want to use all the > electricity. There is a newer "suspend to both" which is designed to "suspend to RAM" but also sets up "suspend to disk" just in case the machine is off long enough to exhaust the battery and loses the RAM, in which case it can be recovered from disk. > Don Quixote -- Kevin J.
