[ltp] suspend/hibernation FC4 & X31

[Izaak Branderhorst]

Hi there,

check out http://www.suspend2.net/ . I don't use Fedora so I can't tell  
you whether you'll have to apply suspend2 to your kernel yourself or if  
there's a Fedora package available.

suspend2 is where the most recent development is. It's more feature-rich  
than the in-kernel suspend support. I have an old A30 with a GB of RAM and  
suspend2 really speeds things up by compressing the RAM contents as it  
writes to disk.

Hint: the swap partition is the safest target to use (don't use the  
filewriter). This does mean however that your swap has to be at least the  
size of your memory plus your 'normal' swap usage.

Izaak
