    Of course your correct hibernation requires the power button be pushed = my bad
    A good reason I don't use it unless an emergency case because it gives a fault sense of the computers state.
    Hibernation does require the machine to be re-powered, but I meant Sleep (I never use Hibernation). :)

    I suspect that some link needs to be connected on my motherboard.
    The manual says nothing about it (or I can't find the relevant info).
    With the PS/2 mouse connected, the PC power LED flashes and the mouse LED remains illuminated.
    With the USB mouse connected, the PC power LED flashes, but the mouse LED turns off.

    It's a minor annoyance as I have seen other systems (e.g. at TAFE) that will wake up if the mouse and/or keyboard are used.


    As for boot times, I've noticed that modern operating systems boot fast if nothing is installed.

    My W10 VM's boot time increased from ~20s to ~60s after I installed a couple of programs.
    None of the programs added any startup items.

    I noticed the same thing with my "real" Linux Mint OS
    The increase wasn't as dramatic though (~20s to ~40s).

    My "empty" W7 VMs boot up in ~25s.
    My W7 VMs with software installed for my TAFE courses take ~90s to boot.

Helly everyone I tried the early beta of windows 7 on my IBM t43 (see specs in profile), but thought it was a little slow. Now I actually bought the win7 (for my desktop), but since I am going to be home for three months due to work, I only have my T43 and wants to install win7 on that. ...
