Thanks Arnold, for your help. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
After searching and reading in the support section of Toshiba's site,
I discovered that the hibernation feature still has not been enabled to
work in W98se.
You'd think after all this time, there would be a driver or something
from them for this. So all my questions on hibernating with my 20gb
drive are unnecessary. Bummer :-/
Oh well, I'm glad anyway to have another Libby, and be back amoung
this fine group :-)
Altho, I'd still appreciate knowing a good version of Red Hat that will
work on my 100 without having to be tweaked to death.
