Use RAM disks for a VirtualPC speed gain
Authored by: daybrother on Oct 05, '04 12:06:36PM
I've thought about trying this. Thanks. BTW, I've never seen a disc ~200MB. The smallest install of win 2K I ever managed was 700+MB and XP is currently 1.5GB. How did you ever get a 200MB OS?

One can get a fully functional LFS install (with webserver) in under 8 meg.

If you look beyond Windows, a <200 meg install is quite feasible.
