I think that i don't explain very well what I need or I don't use the good
English words to explain what i need.

I try to explain this better:

I need boot like PXE which load an initrd and then load a little
but complete and operational Linux system in RAM.

I need that everything I need is running in RAM, not on hard
drive and not with NFS and no network traffic for Xwindows.

Since I ask this question to the list I found informations about
initrd ramdisk and so.

I've to says we want to use something based on Debian Woody or
Sarge at the last, for upgrade stability and maintenance.

If no project like this exist, I've to create a little kernel
and to find how to make a little Xwindow system.

I know that this will require enough memory (512 Mo would be good
because I've to run a Java application on the stations to), and
I think that the doesn't have to use swap or I will have a
kernel panic.

If I understand what you say ( ho my poor English), 
I think this solution is not for me.

In fact no, because I can't use NFS.

Thank you Tom.
