Use the assign command after copying your C directory to ram:, ie

assign c: ram:c

AmigaDos will now look for commands in ram:c, instead of sys:c

To see all the assignments currently in use, type

assign list

Most commonly, people will reassign LIBS, DEVS, C, L, S, FONTS, and SYS
to another device or drive (like to df1: or to a hard disk) when they
want to use the other device as the system disk.
