The cloop driver that Knoppix uses for its compressed file system is
a block device... so if there's plenty of ram available, frequently used
apps like Mozilla and OpenOffice should tend to remain in cache once
they are loaded from CD. The initial load will be slow, but additional
requests should originate from ram.

With our existing system I've noticed that once the first student loads
an app, there's very little hard disk activity on the LTSP server when
the other terminals subsequently request it. I'm hoping this will also
be the case with bootable CD's based on cloop or zisofs.
