Ramdisk takes longer to boot

Surely it doesn't take longer to boot the ramdisk BL3
than it takes to copy, setup and boot the loop BL3.

But I run linux more than once on each computer.

and you can't add much to it.

Then make a larger ramdisk. Or make a one-floppy boot
(with PCMCIA capability for CF) for a CF root filesystem.

I have not tried wireless networking in RAMDISK linux with kernel 2.4.31 - do you suggest doing so, and making the RAMDISK large enough for Opera, on a laptop with 24MB total RAM?

I am trying to use two cards that only work with 2.4.31 kernels, in a computer without a free partition.

The laptop coming over tomorrow with 'no software on it' but USB and CD_ROM drive 'played a music CD when he just stuck it in'. If this means it is XP, how would I get BL3.40 working, use the qemu image? (I might just put on Opera for Windows and 60 DOS games instead).

Cheers,
Steven
