"No such file or directory" -- your information is _not_ out of date.
I have a small (40mb) partition on this laptop that I must use primarily
for work-related DOS/Windows development -- I need (want) linux available,
but normally boot in from DOS which keeps my modem alive, and neither the
APM or PCMCIA features are important to me at this point.
I just wanted to point out that, at least on this model, suspend/resume
doesn't require APM (at least not if you're not using or don't need to
access PCMCIA cards).
Cheers,
Pann
