It's not in portage, but will do what you want since you can resume from an initrd. In the initrd, you can open a network connection, mount all that stuff (you never told where that looped file is located, so I guess it's on r/w NFS) and then resume. It's not implemented at the moment, I think, but should be easy to add ("remote suspending" is mentioned as an "easy" possibility). -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
