Suspend to hard drive?

The only apm functions I know of are standby and suspend... But I just heard about actually keeping an image of your current session in Linux on your hard drive. How do I use this?

this depends a little on the kernel version you're using...

Read my rather long post about suspend to disk / swsusp at the acer travelmate 800 thread in 2.6.0-test11. The link will take you to the post right away.

then you have to get the swsusp kernel patch from sourceforge. in grub you have to add resume=/dev/hdxx. replace hdxx with your actual swap partition, like hda2. but don't expect to much. it is still buggy.
