So I don't waste my time downloading the entire PeeWeeLinux distribution I
was wondering if there is a way to create a bootable PeeWeeLinux from a
CDROM? I'm assuming that this could be done by making the install and
"Read-Only Root File System" type of installation. If I am correct it
would then place /var, /etc, /usr and /home in ramdisks.
On a related note, if the above is true, why is /usr being mounted in a
ramdisk? Why not make it read-only too therefore freeing up the ram that
would have been used for all the stuff in /usr? In fact the only real
filesystems that would need a ramdisk would be /tmp, /var, and optionally
/home.
Comments?
