DLS comes up and allocates 160 MB for /ramdisk, only 16% of which
is used. Is there anyway to tell DSL  to ask for less room for  /ramdisk.
Thank you
Huy

As far as I know, the linux kernel in DSL will dynamically swap out ramdisk for free ram. So as long as you don't fill up your ramdisk with a bunch of large files, you should still have the ram available for program and OS use.

Of course I don't know alot about this subject so this is my best guess as to how things work.  I could be totally talking out of my rear end on this one.
