Hmmm, I'm not sure if the Fedora Live CD has this capability. ("toram" in
Knoppix.) But, I'm not sure this is really the optimal use of memory for a
laptop. Particularly, if you're planning to use suspend-to-disk, it will
significantly increase your suspend and resume times, as the entire image
will have to go to disk and back rather than just the active memory.
