Thanks, I looked at the Ubuntu guide, but it looks too different from 
the distro I have installed (Fedora 7).  Too bad, it looks pretty 
straight forward.

I also researched the STR, and had some success with suspend2, but it 
was a bit too cutting edge for my daughters pvr (kinda zero-tolerance).  
Nvram-wakeup also looked promising, but pretty complex.

Does anyone know if there is a guide for any of these that are written 
for Fedora?  Thanks again,

Don
