I need some advice before I install MacMinix on my system (assuming I
get my keyboard problem fixed).

The manual explains how to set it up with a RAM disk and floppies, and
with a harddisk only. Are there any advantages in combining RAM-disk
and harddisk? I was thinking of putting /bin (and maybe some of
/usr/bin) on a RAM-disk *if* it would speed things up. Or should I
just increase the cache from the Chooser?


Thanks,
