How do you load it all to RAM?
« on: May 28, 2014, 03:28:51 PM »
Hey guys, I found out about the quite awesome ability to load your system to RAM recently and then found out that Tinycore does that, and seemingly supports updating the system without much of a hassle as well! I want to set up some Arch and Gentoo installations to do this and I'm wondering how exactly Tinycore does it (since there seem to be many ways to do it).

Could someone explain to me how it works? ;D

We don't answer Arch and Gentoo questions here.
As to how Core does it,  it's all shell scripts, and you can read them.
They won't apply to Arch and Gentoo though.

Oh no I wasn't asking you to tell me how to do it from these, just how Tiny does it.

Which scripts exactly?

Please read the Core Concepts, and the book at the top of the home page.
It's small enough that you should have no trouble finding and reading the scripts.
Start in /etc/init.d.
