I tried that parameter (ramdisk_size=N) but it seems to be silently ignored. Whatever value I put for N I still got a 128 MB ramdisk. Are you sure this parameter is also valid for Debian live cd? I didn't find it in the documentation. Maybe it is a Knoppix or other live cd specific option.

What are you suggesting that I should delete? If I am not mistaken the live cd filesystem is a unionfs which means that the ramdisk is used to store the *diff* from the read-only filesystem on the cd. Thus the ramdisk should start empty and if I delete stuff, ramdisk usage will actually *increase*. Is that wrong?
