Oliver, I'm not sure I understand your response, but hopefully this will help. On my TP600 the hibernation file is a file within the FAT partition of Win95. The BIOS can find this file if I suspend to disk from Win95 or from FreeBSD. Under either operating system, I press Fn-F12 and the system suspends to disk. see http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/PFAN-3VXSNV.html [which says you need a fat16 or fat32 partition, not just ntfs] Did you search your harddrive for the file ps2.exe? It is possible that it is there, but not in your path. On my TP600 the file was at c:\thinkpad\ps2.exe. see http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/RMIE-3AXE3E.html [which has the ps2.exe install download] IBM ThinkPads have good support at www.pc.ibm.com, including a fine search facility. Check it out. On the other hand, I should point out that FreeBSD's apm -z (or zzz) only suspends to RAM. That's why I use the Fn-F12 combination. Don't let that discourage you, unless IBM removed the ability to suspend to disk from the keyboard on your T20.
