Script to make RAM Disk
Below is a script to make a 128MB RAM disk. You can easily change SizeInMB to change the size. It will appear on your desktop as "RAMDisk". The name can be changed by changing VolumeName in the script. Copy the code below, and save it as text (I called it "mkramdisk".) Then make it executable with 'chmod 755 mkramdisk', typed in a terminal. You can execute the script with './mkramdisk', to create and mount the RAM Disk. It will be mounted in /Volumes/RAMDisk (or /Volumes/YourName, if you changed the name). When you eject the RAM Disk, log out, or reboot, the RAM Disk and its contents are removed. Someone else may want to give instructions for making the script clickable from the GUI.......
