It is definitely possible, however, I won't do this myself in the nearest future because my computer has only 512 MB of RAM. If you want to implement this, check out the buildscripts from SVN, and do (non-trivial) modifications to the following files: packages/initramfs/init.c scripts/shutdown-helper The real problem is that you don't want to copy root.ext2 into RAM - it is 1.5 GB in size. You probably want to take the ISO image into a file, set up /dev/loop2, and use it instead of the CD. -- Alexander E.
