   I want to change the way /home is mounted in a usb install. I want it to be part of the rootfs.gz at boot time instead of mounting the usb device.

   You won't be able to save changes to /home then, is that what you want?

   Yes,

   I want the entire system to run off the ramdrive unless I decide to make a change and do a tazusb writefs. The goal here is to make completely bulletproof embedded device.

   Thanks.

   Key Master

   Hi,

   So you have to modify the usb key bootloader: syslinux. On the USB media you have a boot/ directory with syslinux/syslinux.cfg wich set home=. Just remove it and home will be in RAM.

   That pretty much worked, however..

   It's not isolinux, its extlinux

   I modified extlinux.conf and took out the home=9d1ae70d-27bd-49d2-a549-1ce01997baf8 and it booted with home not mounted on the usb.

   There is not enough space left in the ramdisk for me to populate /home with the neccesary files. How do I increase the size of the ramdisk?

   Sorry,

   I inadvertantly filled up my ramdisk with garbage. I have 100 megs free. Plenty of space.

   Thanks for the help
