When I said "different versions of Linux", I should have said "different Linux distributions". I was thinking more along the lines of Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, etc. installed on their own separate root partitions, not different kernel versions of the same distro. I have done things like this and had separate swap partitions for each distro and had them all hibernated at the same time. It works. I do realize that it is not practical to have a separate swap partition for every selectable kernel version, and selecting the wrong kernel could cause a hibernated image to not load and possibly be overwritten. A small risk, since I am the only "user" of my desktop system so I can reasonably count on this not happening, and even if the hibernated image is lost, the OS can still be booted up. I mainly use hibernate/suspend to save time and I know better than to leave editor sessions with critical files half-edited when hibernating, and so forth, so if a hibernated image is lost, or if the system fails to resume from suspend properly (which occasionally happens), all I lose is some time in having to log back in, fire up all my applications, etc. --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
