Perhaps Kernel Software Suspend is what you're looking for. It's a kernel patch that enables you to freeze your computer's status (comparable to VMWare's suspend option). It stops all processes and writes their data to the swap partition. On the next reboot it restores it all. http://swsusp.sourceforge.net/ -- Lars Gust�bel [EMAIL PROTECTED] A casual stroll through a lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
