<Mmmmmm, tasty>

I just installed Landon Dyer's PD ramdisk tonight.  It works admirably, but
I thought I'd pass along some installation tips so you folks don't waste as
much time as I did.  The instructions say to assemble, link, and relmod the
program.  Do just like he says, but for the link, do something like:

	link68 [u] ramdisk.68k=ramdisk

This will link the ramdisk without the GEM or desk accessory stuff.  It won't 
work with that stuff included.  I discovered the problem when I used a public 
domain "cc" program to do everything, and it assumed I was linking a normal 
program which needs all the GEM junk linked in.  The linker whimpered about 
_main being undefined, and the program got two 'shrooms when I tried to run 
it.  I got the same results when I tried to link in the desk accessory stuff.  
Landon's program doesn't need all that stuff the rest of us mortals take for 
granted.
