Yes, until the installer formats and mounts the /mnt target everything is in memory. The trick is that / is located in a RAM disk, i.e. saving to a file eats RAM... My idea is to compress the loaded data, in my test the ~270kB SSH data was gzipped to ~17kB. That's a pretty high compression ratio. 'xz' would be even a bit more efficient (~13kB). But gzip is much easier to use in Ruby, it is built-in: At read: require "zlib" compressed = Zlib::Deflate.deflate(read_data) [Run the installation] At write: write_data = Zlib::Inflate.inflate(compressed) Imo what do you think about it? -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 [email protected] SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
