Hi,

I just tried the new 3.1 RC1 version within VMWARE as a test as I want to start using the DSL distro as a solution for my BOINC PC's. I have 1Gb of RAM available so I would like to use the "toram" option for DSL. I intend to store my BOINC data on a 1Gb USB drive so that whenever the machine goes down, all information is not lost. Is this possible ?

DSL in RAM and the BOINC related data on the USB drive ? I also should be able to boot from the USB drive.

Thanks for any information.

Greetings.

That should be possible..however it BOINC writes a pre-determined intervals...which means that it will constantly write as it processes..this will work but will reduce the life of the CFDisk
