I have always quite liked a boot option in DamnSmallLinux: toram
When you boot the live system "toram" the whole system is runs only in RAM.
It's unbelievably fast (even in a 200 MHz box with 128 MB RAM).
I wonder if this could be implemented in openSUSE Live?

Since normal openSUSE LiveCDs are 700MB (instead of 50MB) plus overlay-writing and apps need some more RAM, that might need more than 1GB of RAM to work, which would limit the usefulnes.
Errr... OK, but.. I'm sure that Vahis didn't mean that he wanted to run a 700MB openSUSE iso in 128Mb of RAM... it was just an example from DSL I've got 8Gb or 16Gb of RAM. I've often wished it was possible to "install" to RAM instead of to disk. A 700MB iso would "install" nicely into a RAM Drive (I'm thinking something like iRAM from a few years ago). OK, I know it's possible but... the process isn't so well known or documented... or done for that matter.
