Mike ... an old stunt from DOS days is to create a ram disk and treat it as a
harddrive. I just compiled a fresh 2.4.17 kernel and noticed that thsi is
supported by the kernel. Might give that a whirl. Works best with binaries or
read-only data. Not a good idea for live data unless you arrange for periodic
(frequent) writes to the real drive ... and that would put you back at square
one.
There are probably a lot of ways to accomplish what you mention -- this is
just one of them.
