First of all, I want to thank all those who responded to my request for
information on setting up a networked lab of LCs with no hard-drives.  I'm
editing down the suggestions into a summary that I'll post later.

Here's my next question: a main point in most of the suggestions was to create
a RAM disk and move the active system folder there to cut down on floppy-drive
accesses.  I can move the folder, but how do I convince the system that the new
version is the "Blessed" folder?  I have an app called Blesser, but it requires
a reboot to take effect.  That won't work for a RAM disk.

Also: any suggestions on RAM disk software?  I'm using one from the info-mac
archives called RAMDISK 1.1.

Thanks again.
