Writing to flash is slooooo. So whenever you need to flush RAM things will slow to a crawl. Besides the cost of a 256 or 512MB RAM is lower than a usb stick. If it's an old low end comp it will have USB1.0 which is even slower. > Is there anything called USB RAM? No afaik -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
