the used ram depends on two things: 1. how large is the image if 'toram' is used 2. how many modifications to files are done due to a bug in live-initramfs, there is no 'noatime' and no 'nodiratime', that means, not just files you have changed are consuming ram (you can see the differences in /live/cow), but also files that you touch end up in the ram. i hope to fix that soon. even with that bug, the standard system requires ~54mb during a boot (due to some files that are beeing created/modified/touched). this means, that you should looking into disable every service you don't need at boot time to get ram usage down. hth, daniel -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
