Fn-A does suspend-to-disk, at least on the Inspiron 4000, I assume it's the same on the 8000. The advantage is that the machine is _completely_ off when it's suspended to disk, so you can change batteries etc. without shutting down. When resuming, you just boot from the s2d partition (I have an entry for it in GRUB). It's dog slow, though; on my Inspiron 4000 with 256B RAM, a normal reboot is faster than a suspend/resume to/from disk. -- Dagfinn I.
