Man this is a mess, would be really nice to have all this good
information in a FAQ/HOWTO somewhere... specifically one that is
kept up-to-date... nothing like finding something that's 2 years
old...

So I'm trying to resize my suspend to disk partition, right?  Turns
out I need to allocate between 1.5 and 1.8Gb (!!!!!!) in order to
have a suspend-to-disk partition!  Frankly, that seems like a waste
of space!

Hrm... may have to do this to replace this 2gb suspend-to-disk partition!
