Ok, thanks for both replies. That's a good start already! But this is all about __software__ suspend. But aren't some other "hardware" suspend-modes also available on ppc, like suspend-to-RAM? For example, on my system I could say quite a bit of power by stopping the HD, switching off USB-ports, eth, and then putting the CPU to sleep? Would all this be doable by just performing those steps and then clocking the CPU down? I must admit, I don't understand the whole idea behind suspending at all. What happens to all applications that went to sleep for 1 second and wake up 2 days later? What about all network connections? timeouts? I have to read some basics...
