Only someone who never uses a laptop could think hibernate | and suspend are no longer needed. Yep. I'm often on a Macbook (yes, not Linux - that's on the home server) and one of the real joys is, when I run out of time somewhere (the train arrives, etc) just shut the lid and stuff it into into my bag. No planning or special arrangements. It suspends to RAM, and if the battery really does go flat later, restores from the hard drive when I attach real power. On a laptop this is a great boon. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ NOTWORK: n. A network when it is acting flaky. Origin (?)
