Question #48915 on Ubuntu Eee changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/48915

Description changed to:
It seems that the swap partition is too small to hibernate on the
original 701.

I did the auto-partition at install, and the swap partition is just
under 220 MB.

Everytime I try to hibernate, I got a message stating that there is "not
enough free swap"

As a personal fix :
I could try to repartition, but I will try to add a user space swap file instead, as detailled here :
http://ubuntu-eee.com/wiki/index.php5?title=Fix:_hibernate

- - -

Could it be fixed at auto-install time, with a tweak in some install
script to allow a little more space to the swap partition -- on the 701
only maybe ?

I'm sure nobody really use the 1GB or so of space left after install for
storing files -- but a SD card instead -- and the lost space would be a
reasonable trade-off for a working Hibernate :-)
