Also - do I use a Dell tool to create the hibernation file? it's a bios thing. i never done this with dells, but i guess if you don't find a dell-specific tool, you can use the ibm-one [1]. however, some googling [2] pointed me to pHdisk.exe from dell, maybe that's what you need. > I don't have Windows on my laptop - just FreeBSD, so if there is a way > to do this without loading windows on it, I'd be much happier.
