I have heaps of megabytes of extra memory in my machine that 
I'm not using.  I don't have enough space on my hard drive at 
this time to set aside to make a partition for a hard drive 
installation of BasicLinux.  It would be really cool if we 
could have two different versions prepared for a ram drive 
installation, one being a package for a small ram drive and 
another for a much larger ram drive.  I hope this idea of mine 
will fly well.  One thing I really like about running programs
on a ram drive instead of on a hard drive is that everything 
runs so much faster and smoother and slick on a ram drive.
Of course I am also very much aware of the disadvantages of 
running programs on a ram drive.  I hope nobody gets on my case
to inform me of the drawbacks of using a ram drive because I 
already know about them and I have already considered the pros 
and cons of all that.

All the best,

Sam Heywood
