Have you seen the 'docache' kernel parameter? It=20 used to stick the LiveCD into RAM -- I haven't used it lately but I=20 assume it's still around. I'd think it would be straightforward to apply=20 the same feature to an installed Gentoo system. --=20 Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com --6WlEvdN9Dv0WHSBl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkmEmEEACgkQXVaO67S1rtt5jgCgjhXrsoDpJWmmLpDRV+SNf1vB /f8AoOnyBeFsW4Pzx1+kPZJwrefAOYQ2 =XwgV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6WlEvdN9Dv0WHSBl--
