I guess so.

I recently downloaded all the 2.0 ISOs and the RAM usage was as follows, as outputted by the 'free' command:
LowRAM: 102MB
LORAM-CDROM: 134MB (where the system defaults to a read-only /usr directory)
SquashFS: 101MB (also where the system defaults to a read-only /usr directory)

I wonder could it be possible to make SLiTaz actually run from the CD rather than copying a filesystem in to RAM? It would thn allow a full 700MB system on say a 256MB machine etc.? I imagine i would only take some code changes to the CDROM booting scripts?

I suggested having live cd use ram+swap (I think puppy does), maybe being able to run gparted or some other partitioner to make swap before a full os boot to install.

If you could install or boot from usb including pcmcia usb, then you can convert this old laptop-

16mb ram
500mb hd
pcmcia
no mobo usb

to this-

516mb memory (ram+swap)
1gb drive (pcmcia usb stick)

Swap on flash probably would be faster than swap on old hd but a live cd that uses swap has more possibilities than a live cd that ignores swap for live cd requirements.

Thank you.

I'm hoping for a liveCD cheatcode where you can turn the "Load OS into RAM" off. That way, you only need one iso to boot computers with both more and less than 160MB of RAM.

What do you think of http://community.slitaz.org/node/6 ?

Are those features on stable 2.0 or cooking?

Thank you.
