On all the windows XP machines I have used suspend means that the machine is still not quite powered down and can be woken again at touch a button. Hibernate means that all state gets thrown down on the HD and the power goes out. When the power comes on again I get lilo and I can choose my OS. If I choose XP it finds the hibernation data early in it's boot process and loads it. However I don't have to choose XP. I could use linux for a couple of weeks, even reinstall lilo a few times, and still come back to XP and it would find it's hibernation data. So I guess lilo is compatible with windows XP hibernation. AFAIK, linux swsusp (SysReq-d) does the same thing as XP hibernation. i.e. It detects the hibernation during kernel boot. Doesn't really have anything to do with lilo or the bios at all. I could be wrong though. sam -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net (~samc/key.gpg) $superduper: .signature,v 1.4 2002/04/27 11:54:02 samc Exp $ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
