And using genkernel is pretty fucking pointless while it doesn't |
| 77 |
support suspend/resume right. |

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I don;t use genkernel so |

don;t know the truth from experience. I only read what others say, |
| 81 |
claiming that genkernel doesn't support suspend/resume. |
