Bootcd allows you to use the NOT_TO_RAM option to make files physically reside on the CD and only be symlinked into the Ram disk.
I wrote a script which adds every file in /etc to NOT_TO_RAM, needing to conserve space in the Ram Disk. The theory is if I need to change settings in the liveCD I'll copy the file to /root and update the symlink in Ram. However, the liveCD had errors during boot, because some files apparently have to be writeable during boot. For example, I guess, /etc/mtab. Does /etc/fstab have to be writeable? What other files need to be writeable? Some huge things like /etc/gconf clearly *don't* need to be writeable, but I'd like everything to be "frozen" unless it's necessary to write it. I want to conserve every bit of space in the Ram disk possible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
