At least on Debian the system resumes once you plug in the external power so you would have to do that before suspending. I already took the battery out while the Neo was on usb power and it still ran - but I didn't re- insert it then (because I was intending a "hard" reboot ;) ) so I don't know if that could damage anything. -- Marcel _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
