A number of users invariably clicked the boot from RAM option and that requires more RAM on your system and then complained about it. The number of users who actually want that option is apparently minuscule. I will add it to the How to anyway.

Why is this option not added as an additional entry in the boot menu? This is a useful feature and it is totally undiscoverable. (even after reading the source code of the livecd* tools it is not evident) It was in the menu before and caused a lot of confusion and bug reports from users who misunderstood what it meant.

How to make a Live USB running from RAM?
Hi, I successfully created a Live USB bootable pen drive by using my custom kickstart file, livecd-creator, livecd-iso-to-disk, as explained here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB Everything works, but I would like to be able to remove the USB pen after boot and run everything from RAM. The machine has 2GiB of RAM and the img is 300MiB, so it is certainly doable. For what I want to do, one free USB port is more valuable than 300MiB of disk cache. Is there a way to obtain this? Thank you. -- Roberto Ragusamail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
