Yes, I have already build my own image, including only the packages I
want. That works well.
My interim solution is to create an lvm lv of 1G in size and download
filesystem.squashfs to that, with the copy-to-ram option. This works
well for most servers
here this is not the case and we'll need to do some manual disk
re-organising prior (or use the PXE method).
I am happy to contribute such a "copy filesystem.squashfs only to RAM"
option to the code if wanted. I had a quick look and did not find where
I would add that. Would

I get it. But it eludes me how you do so. I guess that I don't understand why

A regular live iso image is typically transferred to some other medium (USB pen, DVD/CDROM). In such case, there is no need to wipe the

If I understand you correctly, you perform a live boot from the disk

I tried live-boot(7)"toram" paramater. This actually worked on my test machine, but to my surprise it copied the whole 4G root filesystem to ram instead of just filesystem.squashfs. While it worked on this system (albeit wasting a lot of time and RAM
