[ltp] ACPI on T40

[anish muttreja]

Thanks Nick and Alex! That saves me the harrowing prospect of repartitioning. 

I do wonder how its done though . I mean What would happen ifi
suspended the system with  swap and memory both pretty full ? Where
would swsup store state ? I am sure I am being simplistic - but  that
does seem magical and I would love to find a simple explanation.

Not that I am going to worry about that - my swap partition runs at
zero usage most of the time .

As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty,
and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a
scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.
