Do you mean standby when you close the top? There is a sleep manager
in Win98 and you can configure what you want to happen when you close
the top of the machine. I've never had that error, by the way, and I
configured my win98 sleep manager last week. How did you re-partition
your disk?
As for your last comment, I do not believe hibernation is supported in
linux at present. Check the apmd man page. Under linux, when I hit
the sleep key (alt-function-4, or something like this - not working on
my laptop at the moment) my machine goes into sleep/standby mode with
no problems. I did not have to set anything to do this. Closing the
lid does nothing, though.
