suspend to disk (on every PC)

[knopper]

you mean this is like hibernate--on steroids? way cool!

Looks very cool. Someone send this to Klaus.

I'm using swsusp on my notebook, and with a special configuration, it does work fine.

But I won't include it on Knoppix, because it can seriously damage your filesystems if you are not an expert on kernel/driver issues. You have to shutdown some devices before software suspend, and sometimes the X-Server does not wake up correctly (especially if you use it in accellerated DRI mode). Its surely does not add stability to the kernel, and may have bad side effects that are not fully known yet. You also need a sufficiently large linux swap partition.

swsusp is nothing for beginners, unless you preconfigure it carefully for each specific system.
