We have 1.2Mb floppy startup disks for our OS class whereby what is on the disk is put into a RAM Shadow, so that there is a small amount of RAM Disk space left in /tmp - exactly equal to the spare space on the disk. Now, I have heard that you can mkfs -T to make a file system larger than the actual disk size, for people with enough memory. I tried this and when I tried to copy the files over to that new disk, the damn thing bombed out. Is there a way of making a root disk with files on it which will also leave me with a 1Mb RAM disk? ******************************************************************************* * Danny Bielik * * dbielik@suna.mqcc.mq.oz.au * * Macquarie University - Sydney Australia * * Phone (W) +61-2-212-6699 Fax +61-2-281-7394 * *******************************************************************************
