That's what Mikkel was referring > to in his message. I think it is generally a good idea to try and have as much swap as ram for hibernate. That said, on my laptop I have 1.25 G ram with 1G swap (originally I had 512M ram but upgrade a year back, and didn't increase the swap size as I cannot easily repartition) . However, I have never run into problems with hibernation failing because of this - most of the time hibernation only uses 200-400M, a small fraction of the available 1G swap. Chris
