That doesn't matter, because hibernation to the slice created by the floppy stand-alone program at http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4PESMK.html is a BIOS function, not an OS function. The only OS aspect is that the BIOS tells the OS to go to sleep before copying everything to disk and turning the power off. >The disk in question has both Windows 98 (rarely used) and FreeBSD >5.2.1. Your recommendation is to proceed with the utility at that URL? Yes, AFTER you have created enough unused space at the end of your disk for the slice and after you have made sure that the fourth location in the standard slice table is available for use. The space required will be a "little more" than the amount of real memory in your machine. I artificially expanded mine, to 2,116,800 disk blocks so if I ever throw out my 256 MB memory boardlet and install a second 512 MB boardlet, I will have enough space for a gigabyte of real memory. I should emphasize again that I have done this successfully, using STABLE and Win2k as the two systems on my T23. Version 5 mileage may vary, but this looks to me like the right place to start. -- M/S 258-5 |1024-bit PGP fingerprint:|tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59| (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000| 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6|FAX: (650) 604-4377 Not an official NASA position.
