[ltp] Re: R30/R31 Hibenation stuff

[Frank Schaeckermann]

James,
the boot floppy will allow you to create a Hibernation Partition on your 
hard drive (must be a primary partition therefore you need space in your 
mbr partition table!!!) and sets up the bios to use that partition to 
store the hibernation file when you hit Fn-F12.

Disregard the info about supported operating systems on that page! That 
info is just referencing the operating system necessary to CREATE the 
physical floppy disk from the floppy disk image!!! Once you have the 
floppy disk it will boot into a utility doing the necessary 
low-level-setup in the bios and on your hard drive to enable hibernation 
- no matter what operating system you use (I don't have any windows on 
my machine either *wink*)! You can also download the afore mentioned ISO 
image of a bootable CD-ROM I created using that very floppy disk image 
and burn a bootable CD-ROM that will do exactly the same as the floppy 
disk would.
