I see. Thanks for explaining, John. I think it would be possible, in
most cases, to use the swap partition to save the state for hibernate,
though. What do you think? Does the APM code in the kernel rely on the
APM BIOS to do the actual writing of the RAM image? If it does,
wouldn't it be possible to fool it and make do without any FAT
partitions?
I have to look into this, but any input from someone who has allready
done so is welcome.
