Really? I guess I'm not that up to date with terminology here. I'm very new to the laptop world. What's the difference between hibernation and suspending? The manual page of apm(1) doesn't mention "hibernate" at all; it only mentions "suspend mode" and "standby mode". Both of these work on my Thinkpad 570 without explicitly creating a FAT partition. It seems that "standby mode" is a battery savings mode, but keeps most of the box running. "Suspend mode", on the other hand, stops the CPU. When I restart from suspend mode, I can continue where I left off. All processes are still running. I usually only reboot when I'm upgrading the kernel. -- Mikael "MC" Cardell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Temple of the Moby Hack Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
