This can be true, but your ideas put forward below are not the whole truth either.
In short, you're essentially asking how to modify your car so that the engine can be removed very quickly while your car is moving, so that you can drive around town in stop-and-go traffic with no engine.
I put a similar question to the newsgroup de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde In reply on 13 June 2007 Henning Paul wrote This [Linux without harddisk] is possible indeed.... Here in our institute we do similar things. All computers run without hard disk. And he asserted that 1 Gb RAM would be sufficient for running two or three applications like Firefox or Thunderbird in a ramdisk. The corresponding key word for having a kernel _not_ using the hd regularly is 'laptopmode'. I do hope that there are people here in this group knowing a bit more about that than either you or me. A.
