Greetings,
it would be very advantageous to the Mandrake distribution to support by default
the sotware suspend (swsusp) patches in its kernel. Doing so, it would be the
first and only distribution offering this definite bonus. Swsusp patches can be
found at: http://swsusp.sf.net/
To give a quick overview, when activated, those patches enable the writing of
all the RAM to the swap partition (and a few other things) and turns off the
machine. At next bootup, the RAM will be rewritten with what's in the swap, so
the state of the machine is virtually identical to when it was turned off,
bypassing all the init scripts and so forth, bringing the boot time to a decent
time.
Thanks for considering this very valuable addon.
Aurelien Marchand
