[Soekris] Ram Disk based linux distro ?

[Punky]

Hi Jaime,

Voyage Linux is now available in Live CD (just 31MB) which can be run
as PXE boot server:
http://linux.voyage.hk/?q=live-cd

Once booting the Live CD, you can follow the instruction in below to
start PXE server:
http://cvs.voyage.hk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/voyage-custom/src/live-cd/overlay_fs/README.pxe

My recommendation is to boot the Live CD under VMWare or other
virtualization environment.  Since the live cd uses casper & unionfs,
you can download your firmware to *everywhere* in the filesystem.  Of
course, there are tmpfs (/tmp 8M) spaces for the same use as well.

If you have further questions, please discuss with me off-list.

Regards,
Punky
