Feature changed by: Eduard Avetisyan (dich) Feature #311011, revision 8 Title: Boot option "toram" openSUSE Distribution: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matti Vahalinna (waxborg) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I've long been amazed about the speed of DamnSmallLinux on a low spec machine when run completely in RAM. I've also seen that this is possible with Gentoo and Ubuntu nowadays. I would love to see this feature in openSUSE Live. This would greatly also improve the impression that new users get when they try out the Live system. So you boot from the Live media and give it an option 'toram' after which a RAM disk is created, the system is copied there and then it is run completely from there.
