First of all ignore the previous post, since I receive the digest it somehow

going to try it out next time I boot Linux.
As for APMD. I installed one of those awefull, horribly amateurish Dell RPMS
for APMD. It said it was for suspend to disk on the 8200 and 5xxx but mine
is 7500. I was desperate enough that I decided to try it.
Dell's RPM was called pcresume.rpm and just that. Oddly enough doing
rpm -qlp pcresume.rpm yielded "no files found in RPM"!!! Yet the install
(-ivh) seems to have gone well because I didn't get any faults. But again,
the RPM is so badly made that it seems to have done/installed something
*somewhere* but yet if I do rpm -q pcresume I get "pcresume" is not
installed. Hum.... very odd, if it was not installed the -ivh command would
have complained loudly (have seen that before).
So, I have no idea what that RPM put into my system and probably no way to
revert it as RPM DB does not seem to "remember" it was installed.
Do a few tests on the rpm. I suspect someone renamed the rpm file.
rpm -qip pcresume.rpm
rpm -qp --scripts pcresume.rpm
example:
[root@ftp2 updates]# rpm -qip ypserv-2.5-2.7x.i386.rpm |grep Name
Name : ypserv Relocations: (not relocateable)
^^^^^^ real name in rpm db
