Minor correction here: The fastboot is a hybrid hibernate, not suspension. The userspace stuff closes as in a normal shutdown, but then the OS hibernates and the system powers off. The OS/driver/services state is saved and restored from the hibernate file. It's not a normal hibernate, since the user stuff isn't saved, hence "hybrid". > The fast boot feature appears to be a dynamic initrd, which stores > pretty much the full OS state on disc at shutdown (having kept it in > a state of near-readiness at all times, otherwise the shutdown would > take forever) and allows a very fast boot.

It's important if you plan to resize the windows partition or otherwise access it, though. - PaulNM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
