[ltp] ACPI on T40

[anish muttreja]

This is probably a stupid question but I can't find a clear answer on
the web or in the archives . Does swsup need a seperate swap partition
or is it possible to use the same swap area for kernel's swap  and
swsup .

In other words I have a T42p with a gb of RAM. Should it have two swap
partitions if I want swsup ? Also how big does each need to be ?

Thanks
Anish
