If you have problems with suspending (or resuming:-), use all the apm
options. When I didn't use CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND and/or
CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE my laptop crashed on resume.

Interesting question. As servers with high uptimes rarely get a chance
to do fsck, i would guess it's safe. On the other hand, servers don't
get suspended too often...

Hmm why? I have a bunch of /etc/apmd/network.opts.x files, and the only
thing I have to do is pull the card out, change /etc/apmd/networks.opts
to be a link to the appropriate file, and put the card back in. I don't
think much easier is possible.

Hmm. The thing is, my laptop doesn't run windows. So I don't have to
reboot it to switch to windows either. And with suspend working
properly, there's just no reason for me to shutdown my laptop. So I
don't have any problems with fsck on boot taking forever, I just open
the laptop and type. Does that explain why I'm lucky not to run windows?
