Also a SWAP file could created on the machine's hard disk.
It's probably not very desirable to touch the harddisk for a Live install.
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 :) Vahis -- http://waxborg.servepics.com openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) 2.6.34.7-0.5-default -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
