lphdisk.  It's in woody, I don't know about potato.  In my experience
the suspend to disk partition should be the 4th partition on the drive
(at the end of the drive).  It should be equal to RAM+VideoRAM+2MB.  The
partition type should be "a0" (IBM ThinkPad Hibernation Partition).  If
you just create this partition while you are repartitioning the drive to
install you'll be all set.  After the machine is up you just run lphdisk
and it creates the structures on the partition for you.  Reboot for your
BIOS to read the new partition info and you should be all set.

I have no idea.  Seems unlikely to me, but it can't hurt to try.

When it's done, or hell freezes over, whichever comes first.
