Not mounting rad: does not make it go away on a warm boot, at least with
1.3 Kickstart. You can warm boot any number of times and still remount
an intact rad:. I notice this because I don't use rad: in all configurations,
and in some of the non-rad: ones I've had occasion to notice that a
considerable amount of memory was tied up somewhere.
Instead of "Resident Restore" after booting, I think you want something like
RemRad (RemRes, perhaps?). I suspect that you memory will still be tied up
whether you do the restore or not.
