Hi, as promised my scripts (SuSE 7.1, Kernel 2.4.0, 128 MB RAM) You have to compile ramdisk support into your kernel. in /etc/lilo.conf put a line ramdisk = 20000 at the beginning of your file in /etc/init.d/boot put this #------------ # # make and mount ramdisk # noflushd only in combination with ramdisk # makes the drive sleep longer than 20 minutes # mke2fs /dev/ram0 mount /dev/ram0 /var/log mkdir /var/log/news #------------ after the filesystem check and before the "set and adjust the CMOS clock" stuff Get noflushd from http://noflushd.sourceforge.net everything regarding noflushd is documented in the package. This all gets me to about one spin-up every two hours if I don't do something that triggers hard-disk activity myself.
