Re: two issues with suspend to disk in Suse 10.2

Dear Martin and Dieter,
I'm not an expert to know all the details Martin has asked. Perhaps I
or someone could try this again with Suse 10.0. But as far as I
remember, I used to write data to the fat32 from
linux and as far as I can remember Windows (must have been a bug in XP
:-)) could read
what linux wrote (better to confirm this again, as I did these things
only rarely).

Regarding pm Vs powersave, someone had suggested removing pm in
connction with another suspend problem. (
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258330 )
I looked at the dependencies and there were a "101"-dependencies and I
was too scared to do that. So my next two questions:

1) Is it possible to force pm to uninstall using "rpm -e pm-utils"?
Will powersave automatically take care of everything? Or is there a
way to try powersave without
deleting pm?
2) Knowing that my data is at risk, is it possible to tell
/etc/pm/hooks/99Zgrub not to
resume to a default system, but to give me a choice (perhaps by
commending off the
grubonce part or something like that)?
3) A stupid question...how does it work with USB sticks? I can write
from WIndows or
Mac or Linux and the others can read/write to it too. It it possible
to configure the fat32
partition in a similar way? The system which resumes make a check on
what is there
and what has been changed?

I was too scared to test 1 and 2 myself.

  Best,
  Pramod
