Hi all, I'm new to the list and a new owner of a ThinkPad X20. I
searched the archives for this problem and couldn't find anything
relevant.
When I got the machine, I immediately wiped the Win98 it came with and
installed RedHat 6.2 (Linux). I dimly recall that the hard disk came
with three partitions on it. Because I am an idiot, I deleted them
all.
One was my win98 partition. I'm guessing that the second was the
Win98 re-install partition, which would be nice to have back, but it's
probably too late for that. I'm hypothesizing that the third would be
devoted to the "hibernate" feature. This would be nice to have back
also.
So my questions, all based on a cascading set of assumptions:
Does hibernate work on Linux? Can I invoke it, e.g. via the "apm"
command? (I don't see an option for hibernate in the apm man page).
Does hibernate need a partition reserved on the hard disk? Can I
recreate that partition? If so, what partition type do I use and how
much space?
Thanks in advance!
