Re: Ramdisk + harddrive
Thanks for the replies.
Taking note of all suggestions I played around with it more. Flashboot is a
nice program but only outputs image disks to 5.25 or 3.5, no links to hd
drive. If it did have this, it would make things so much easier. Anyhow,
with Flashboot and creating a ramdisk image of a bare bones system 6.0.1, I
still needed two 3.5 diskettes, and upon bootup (power down/power up) to
boot from ramdisk it had to load up the image disks from the 3.5 disks which
took 2 mins to do then ultimately ran system 6.0.1 from ramdisk (the speed
from ramdisk blows away the access speed of the hd drive btw).
Unfortunately, with the image disk created by flashboot, it cannot be copied
to a hd root directory (coded and cannot be 'cataloged'). Anybody know of
any 'newer' software that can use the ram as ramdisk and store the loading
files on a hard drive?
