No. HOTboot calls INT19, if you know what is it. If you don't know what
is it, don't worry, just ommit HOTboot.

XW> What's the diffirence of them?
"with / without BIOS tests". If in your BIOS setup you set "Quick boot:
Yes", then you will not see differences, in other cases COLDboot similar to
booting at machine turning on, with memory tests.

SUSPEND/POWEROFF should better for you, PURESUSP/PUREOFF are for
special tasks, when IDE disks should be stopped from other sources.

Yes. :) For example, when you require to type password, you may before
run VGAoff, and VGAon after password entering.
