Andr=E9 and Bret, thanks for the responses and food for thought.  I'll try =
to
get ACPI running first but since I have the luxury of plenty of disk space
I'll create a partition that I can use if I need to fall back to APM.  I
can use the partition for something else if needed later.  Given my level
of expertise (low) I'm better off creating the hibernation partition during
the installation process than going back later to make changes after the
distro is in.  Keeping my cake and eating it too? ;-)  John
