I have done a harddisk install of DSL and love it. Everything works perfectly, including wireless networking, music CD playback, etc. My only problem is that after a period of keyboard inactivity, my laptop goes into hibernation and can only be awakened by pressing the power key for a fresh boot. Does anyone know how to disable hibernation with DSL? My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3800. Thanks for any help.

Most laptops have a way to disable it in the BIOS. There also may be a BIOS update from Dell that would fix that problem.

Dear Doobit,
Thanks for the hint. I feel like such a retard! The bios change fixed my problem.

unreal_scar,
Don't feel like that. Everyone is at a different stage in the learning process and you gotta ask the questions.
