[gentoo-dev] A few ideas...

Hi!

I was sitting and thinking of simplifying the process of having / (and maybe
other partitions) running for a RAM-disk that can be stored on NFS, cdrom, and
maybe even a harddrive (with encrypted fs).

I've never played around with ramdisks and I wonder how much that needs to be
done to make a little shellscript for gentoo that copies down / and other
selected partitions to a iso or something and configures the rest of the system
to boot from that later on.
Another problem might be updating the image, therefor it would be nice with a
single command to rewrite the whole image :)

Anyone wanna help me on this as I have time and would like a feature like that
on some of my computers.

As I said before, it would be nice to have it as a integrated feature of gentoo,
making it alot easier to work with.
