Except that, afaik, BIOS suspend-to-disk simply isn't a possibility if you have an ACPI bios The swsusp patch is not ready for prime time, and may also not be part of ACPI suspend eventually, but the ACPI developers _are_ talking regularly with Pavel Machek about it, and it seems probable that a large part of swsusp will eventually be incorporated into ACPI. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
