I used to suspend to disk in 4.x after creating the S2D partition with the floppy image from Dell, however I don't any more.. Basically it takes so long to suspend and resume with a decent amount of memory (256Mb+) that it's not worth it - most of my applications are smart enough to save state when they quit :) I suspect the story would be different if FreeBSD did the hard work (ie it could use DMA, compression, throw away cache pages etc etc) but just thinking about how to resume makes my head hurt. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5
