RE: Hibernation

Hi,

Sorry - here's what I ment by hibernation...
Shutdown the computer - power off, and have it startup at the same state you
left off.

Windows 98 & Windows NT power management that allows shutdown, suspend &
hibernate.
shutdown  - shuts down & powers off - I have this working with Linux...
suspend   - put processor to a low power state, and all processing stops,
battery still used. (works with Linux)
hibernate - pauses, saves all memory to a hibernation file, and powers off,
when you turn on the machine, it continues from the "pause". (Haven't found
any info on this for Linux yet)

I don't know what you mean -- perhaps I know it by a different name.  What
specifically is hibernation?

Have fun,
