Thanks. I'll take a look at it.

Exactly what I've been doing. I've put /var and /etc/rc.d on ramdisk. You're sure about putting /dev also on ramdisk? I've put it on loopback but it has not complained as yet. By the way, is it possible to change the size of the ramdisk without recompiliing the kernel; say using rdev? > I spent about 60 hours and came out with an iso image exactly as per your > spec. I case you wish, i can send you the URL for down load it is about 60Mb. Just 60MB? Which distro? Am trying out on RH.
