hmm, bootitng has a partition resizer -dont install it as a bootloader
[its horrible] just use it to mangle partitions.

suspend to memory [as i understand] shuts down most things but keeps the
ram alive.
suspend to disk [usually called hibernate] is where a memory image is
written to disk. This is slower but doesnt use up battery as the ram
doesnt have to be powered.

hello, this maybe a bit of a long shot, but.. It really annoys me when i
boot up with not much battery left and it decides its done 33 mounts or
whatever so is gonna fsck. Is there a way of specifying no fsck when on
battery? or can i pass a kernel parameter to prevent fsck?
[using ext3]
thanks,

hello,
Im attempting to run a laptop [vaio PCG-F304] without a hard disk. The
plan is to have the root fs on a CF disk in a pcmcia adapter.
First i thought i would use the installer to install woody on the CF, I
got the first woody cd and booted from that, there didnt seem to be any
pcmcia module
