3. Hibernation / Drives Bigger than 8GB / Linux

This should be on someone's web page, but I just put a 20 GB in my 70ct.  I 
did the following

1) created the max-size 8 GB default partition with boot floppy with Win98se 
on the libretto
2) used a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter (a really good one) to hook the drive to my 
toshiba M500D server (I found a local Boston computer store that sells these 
if someone needs a source)
3) used Partition Magic 4.0 (yeah it's old) to create another partition to 
use all available space (minus 100 MB) from the end of the disk
4) Slapped the drive back in the Libretto and formatted the second partition

So far it has hibernated a few times and it hasn't killed the drive.  The 
only thing I need now is an Adaptec 1460A slim scsi card since I gave away 
my Sony PRD-650 to my sister.  Does anyone have a spare for cheap?

Thanks to someone on the list who listed the procedure before.

-Eugene-
