If you lose the partition then you can recreate it as a regular DOS partition and use the PS2.EXE program to recreate the hibernation file. Linux works well with hibernation on Thinkpads, I've done it on several models. One advantage of hibernation over all other options is that you can swap batteries on a hibernated Thinkpad. So if you need to run for 8 hours without mains power then you can have 2 batteries that do 4 hours each. -- If you can't program in C, PERL, and shell scripts then don't call yourself a Unix administrator. Every idiot on the net is claiming to be a Unix admin. :( http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
