There are, however, numerous add-ons that do copy plenty to RAMDISK before working.
What slows it down isn't a slow optical drive, necessarily, it's the amount of drivers and items that build in. For those of us that just use "universal" type BART discs, with all drivers we might potentially need, the load time can be sucky, no matter what you do.

The reason they take longer is because they're on an slow optical disk & not a 7200rpm HD. Why would your copying stuff to RAM be any faster than their copying stuff to RAM ? The logic makes NO SENSE. The next thing you'll be telling us about the 150w Dell ps but not tell us that you were only counting the 3v & 5v rails. What about the 12v rail ? I certainly would take more time to do some research on statements that I was about to make if I were you. ----------+---------- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 <http://www.wavijo.com>
