One could also use the spare part on that USB stick. We already have instructions to make a partition on it. That's where the user can store all settings and stuff.
Maybe a swap file could be put there then?
Regardless, I think it's a pretty cool idea, even if not really targeted on our primary audience.
I think it would gain more audience, the ones who run the other OS and would like to have a peak:
"OK, I'll try this..." "Geesh! This thing is lightning fast!"
It can't be that difficult either - it's basically: if enough memory available then copy CD to memory and run from there, else run from CD. Sounds like a couple of lines in the startup script.
It sounds like I could easily agree with that. It's just that I don't know how :)
Did just a little poking around... http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-toram-how-to-make-ubuntu-boot-to-ram/ http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=56599&p=349329 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-296892-highlight-ramdisk+copy.html and there are more... so if someone has a little time on their hands, they could certainly sort out how to copy the entire core of an openSUSE installl to RAM and run it all from there. Seems like a good excuse to go out and buy another 8gb of RAM :-) C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
