Now since you told it is (for mac) i wonder if something like it exists for linux.. I've been looking for something like: "boot from ramdisk" but nothing useful so far. @Arjan, Can you tell if you made code adjustments to readahead? or didn't you use that (because you said "a form of").. And any other code adjustments.. Men.. just tell us how you did this ^_^ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
