With 512 it takes what seems like for ever to stop/start.  I guess its a
little over a minute.

I started from the base W2K install, then used Gnu parted (boot floppy
version) to shrink the single initial partition to a few GB.
So the DOS FAT32 partition is hda1, a small /boot on hda2 and everything
else (which is only root + swap) in extended partitions.

I then got the IBM boot floppy (can't remember the exact title of it),
and used that to make a hibernation file in the DOS partition.

I am expecting shortly to shrink the DOS partition to 600M or so and
remake the hibernation file - since I need to format windows off to do
that change.  This means other partitions will move... and I'll probably
trash my laptop :-/

No problems in using this at all.

        Nigel.
