Comment 10 for bug 60511

I have just encountered the same problem installing kubuntu-kde4 beta on a Thinkpad R61 with 3G memory. The installer only created a swap partition of around 605M. I should say that I had only allocated around 30G of disk space to Linux when resizing the windows partition. Nevertheless I think there is a serious problem here. Although I personally can put up (albeit grudgingly) with hibernate not working on a desktop, but on a laptop it is absolutely not optional. All those people who comment on forums that they installed linux on xyz laptop and that it works brilliantly and that they don't care that power management is broken are completely mad. A laptop without functional sleep and hibernate is as broken as a laptop with a dead battery.

Suggested solutions:
1. Get hibernate-to-file working like it does on Windows and Mac OS.
2. Ask during installation whether the user wants to be able to hibernate (I know I was the one who filed a bug once saying that the installer asked too many questions (and thank you very much for fixing it btw) so feel free to shoot me).
3. Just make a big swap without asking and then create some kind of utility that makes resizing the swap a no-brainer.
