According to the later document, I'd be completely hosed, since my partition allocated for hibernating is too small (I need memory + Video Memory * 1.01 + 2 MB = 512 + 32 *1.01 +2 MB= 546.32MB (say 550MB))

But the first document says that you can do it, as long as you have unpartitioon space of the above size and a free primary partition.

Argh, what a pain. Reducing the size of partitions is no fun at all.

I grabbed parted from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/ which will resize/copy etc certain partition types. My partion types are Fat32, ext2, and ext3. Although the documentation says it only supports detect for ext3, the changelog says it now supports ext3 resizing. Sounds scarey? Yep, be careful what you do!

Resize Partition (not completed).
