[ltp] Hibernation, PS2, T30 (Was Partition Magic)

[D. Sen]

Yes the utility worked. I created a primary fat32 partition of 
approximately the size of my RAM + Video Memory (with the tools that 
came with the Mandrake distribution). Later, I booted up using the 
Hibernation Utility Diskette (you will need a working DOS/Windows 
machine to create the diskette) created from the link below and just 
created the hibernation file (I think its option 2 that just creates the 
file).

Hope thats useful.

I was concerned that since the original hibernation file resided in an 
NTFS partition, the BIOS would look for a file in an NTFS partition. 
However, this was not the case.
