Other Help Topics :: Noisy harddrive

Ah right, forgot to mention the hdparm stuff only works on IDE drives (only newer versions contain support for other types afaik).

If you are using a frugal, you can use "toram" to load the 50mb image to the ramdisk, then the hdd won't be used afterwards.

I made a HD install. Is there a way to convert that into a Frugal install?
Don't think so... although I suppose if you have enough ram (400+?) you can copy your hd install to a ramdisk.
