3.2 Hard drive Configuration
...
A swap partition should be the double size of the RAM but not larger than 500 MB. If you plan to use "Suspend to RAM" or "Suspend to Disk" (hibernation) you must include at least 1.5 times the size of the RAM for the swap partition.

6.3.1 Suspend to Disk (Hibernation)
In general is Kanotix prepared to use suspend to disk. If you have an ATI graphics card or a Nvidia graphics card and want to use their features follow the steps described in chapter 4.3. Furthermore you need a correct assigned swap partition as described in chapter 3.1.
Open a console and then type:
su
get-resume-partition
Then reboot and start a KDE session as normal. Then open Kcontrol (K-menu - System . "Kcontrol" or via alt + F2+ "kcontrol") and switch to energy management - laptop-battery. Choose with the arrows "ACPI-Settings". You will be asked for the root password. Enter it and then activate "Hibernation". Now your laptop should support this nice feature. Now your laptop needs to know when it's time to sleep. This can be set according to your wishes in the register "Button Action".
