Sorry to ask directly in bugzilla, but I asked some questions to the Fedora Project Brazil group, with no succesfull answer. http://www.fedora.org.br/fortopic7100.html My name is Thiago Santana and I doing a derivative of Fedora LiveCD for a Point of Sale application. I need to understand a little bit of the Ramdrive conceptual framework used in 'Fedora 7 LiveCD'. There is a file system mounted on the root directory ("/"). How the system is it able to distinguish the files and programs previously recorded on the CD image from files and programs created by me? If I understand correctly, some files are stored in RAM, but I didn't get how the file system manages the available storage space. I want to know how to calculate the RAM space I need for my files. Furthermore, it appears to be that when I open some file from the image for editing, the full contents of the file is copied to RAM. Is that the case? If it is so, what happens if I open a great number of files? I will be waiting for your response. Thank advance your information. My best regards, Thiago Santana
