Re: increasing ramdisk

As you note, you need to use the ramdisk_size=x cheatcode, where x is desired size in KB. For example, to have 500MB for /home and a Spanish keyboard, I can type

live keyb=es ramdisk_size=500000

at the boot prompt. This is a good question, since the default is too small for serious work (note however that for serious work it's probably better to use hard disk space for /home, so that it gets permanently stored). I'm going to add a link to this post on the homepage.

Now, why this doesn't work for you? Hmm. Maybe there is a limitation on the size of ramdisks? Are you using the 64 bit version (recommended)?

Thanks, M.
