That depends on what kind of hibernation you are using. I am using swsusp which means that the laptop is actually completely off when suspended so I can take the power and the battery out, press the power button for 60 secs to empty all capacitors and whatever else you want and then still resume the system (including nfs mounts if there were any) ;-) > /Y > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
