I still have a Z-80 system with 64k of dynamic RAM, and 256K of static RAM - the static RAM has battery backup. The system uses extended addressing, and the disk controller uses the static RAM as a RAM disk. (DMA support as well.) You would be surprised st how much faster the system boots/runs when you use the RAM disk as the system drive. It also help to have the WS overlay files on it. Mikkel
Why can't Fedora do this? I've got 2Gb of physical RAM on this box. I know that slax can be booted into a little as 256MB of RAM to free up the optical drive, so I'm sure that Fedora can fit in my 2GB.
