I will add the resume function to my append line in lilo.conf. My swap is found at /dev/hda6 on this system. Is this an oversight on the part of the Mdk installer not to add this? Was my swap partition not able to function w/o the "resume"? Thanks again for the help......best regards to you. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." -- James Thurber *********************************************** ~Linux Powered by Mandrake 9.2~ *********************************************** ~Reg.
