Well I'm not sure I agree. When I had this working with SUSE 9.1, it was just fantastic being able to suspend to disk, reboot into Windows (which was also suspended to disk) do something, suspend Windows to disk again and go back to SUSE where I left off. I can't emphasize enough how handy this was being able to switch between both operating systems like this. Why shouldn't I get the choice as to whether or not I resume into another suspended OS?

William, I see Lenz has already answered you how to do what you want. I just want to add one more reason why what you want is not what is best as default. Imagine that you have more than one linux installations, as a lot of people dual or triple or even more -ple boot. The suspend to disk writes your status in the swap partition, which is shared among all linux systems you have. Any one of them will use that swap partition and will override the information stored by the "suspend" command. And as Lenz showed you, you can override the default behavior if you know what you do, but it does not invalidate why by default it was designed the way you see it. Cheers Sunny
