Subject: Re: Win2k on Lib 110?
One point to remember about the hibernation: I can't speak for the 110 but
the older machines can go into hibernation if they overheat and this can't
be turned off. So it's probably a good idea to leave the space available,
even if W2k is handling normal hibernation...
