Hibernate does work in Linux.
apm should do it, as should Fn+F12, as should extremely low battery,
as shoul being in suspend for a certain time.
Hibernate does not need a partition, but it DOES neet a hibernation
file on the first FAT16 or FAT32 partition on your drive. It's just
a regular FAT partition and you need to make a file called PM_HIBER.BIN
(I think) and it has to be a certain size. I'm not sure if it has
to be at least or exactly a size, but it has to be as large as all
of RAM plus your video memory, or whatever your manual tells you.
There are DOS utilities to create the file, so you may do well to
make a FreeDOS partition so you can run them.
Good luck,
Chris Schumann
