[ltp] Any reason for a DOS/Windoze partition?

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

"Ninja",

can you tell me your suspend/hibernation tricks? I use RH Linux 5.2
on a TP570 and my Xserver dies with every suspend, even if I change
to a text console with Ctrl-Alt-<Fkey> before I close the lid. :-(

Thanks,
Roland
