Hello *,

  I am wondering if it is possible to create a second ram disk (approx.
300k in size) and then mount it on /tmp.  This would speed up a lot of
operations (including patch, which takes up a lot of disk space).

  Has anyone tried this, or would like to try this, and report the results
back to the group?

Jeff
