Usually, "/var/log/suspend.log" but can vary, depending on the suspend
system you are using (GNOME default, swsusp, uswsusp, tuxonice...).

Maybe :-)
I selected an expert installation and custom partitionaing so I got no
advice, which is normal. But default installer and automatic partitioning
should indeed ask the user and if he/she wants to hibertante the machine
and adjust the amount of required swap space accordingly. At least it
should be nice to have such option, but dunno if it's already present or
not :-?
