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. -- Christan Axelsson smiler@lanil.mine.nu --=.7y9M5KcN4OeBGZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+FDcNyqbmAWw8VdkRAprUAJ4qWuIndhHDTpEhq48ms0cHOsYPBwCfZIiu satlpRA02gjRwD9N/ry94O4= =sTeG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.7y9M5KcN4OeBGZ--
