Running Fedora in Memory

[Earl Ramirez]

Dear All,

Has anyone used Fedora in memory? I saw that there are couple OSes that
are capable of doing this and wonder if this is possible to achieve
this with Fedora.

Thanks

What do you mean by "in memory"?  And how much memory?

Currently the LiveOS can run off a USB/DVD what I am asking is if the
OS can be loaded into RAM so that the removable media is no longer
needed.

At a minimum of 2GB.

I expect you could and I think I've done it with a network boot, but you 
need as much RAM as your image size plus whatever is needed for operating.

The live iso images are between 1.5 and 2GB, so I think the minimum 
would be around 3-4GB.
