Hi,
You can not increase the size of your old ramdisk.
If you want bigger ramdisk , rebuild your ramdisk as per your requirement
and copy your files from your old ramdisk to new ramdisk and then compress
it (if you want :).
But you have to specify Kernel Command Line Parameters according to your new
ramdisk , Please read linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt
The only drawback of using bigger compressed ramdisk is that it take much
time to uncompress it , and it not looks good . during linux booting.
I dont know about your system , if your system supports hard-disks then you
can use harddisk inspite of ramdisk.
Best Regards,
Jaswinder.
