Great to hear from you! Have you seen the 'docache' kernel parameter? It used to stick the LiveCD into RAM -- I haven't used it lately but I assume it's still around. I'd think it would be straightforward to apply the same feature to an installed Gentoo system. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
