SubjectSuspend on swapdisk possible?
Hi!

I hope this isent a two wierd speculation.

Would it be possible to store all or most of a "living image" of a
running system on disk and shut down and boot it nearly instantly?
Some laptops can do such things but they have special hardware for it.
Is there any theoretical way to kind of swap out all processes and
then load them back with a modified kernel and continue to run them?
The system clock will change under the processes feet and most network
sockets would die but it could stil be usefull and very, very
impressive.

Regards,
