From what I've been told by the Dell people (and playing with NT here before I put FreeBSD on the system) the OS does not know where it's suspending to, the Bios handles it all as a bios option (Suspend to Memory/Suspend to Disk) but I don't like throwing away 100megs (I have 80megs of RAM) of hard disk space. NT could not tell the difference between the Disk and RAM suspend, it just takes longer to resume from a disk suspend but turns off the system. (The testing I did was with a APM package so NT was truly power management aware, not just dumb as usual ;) -Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
