Hi list,
does anybody know if it is possible to create and mount a (userwriteable)
ramdisk from within the cygwin-environment. To make it clear I modified the
XLivecd from http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/ to run GRASS-GIS live from CD (not
userwriteable) for experimental reasons. A nice feature would be, if I could
add a script wich copies tutorial-data from the CD into a ramdisk and
deletes the ramdisk after the X-Server is exited, or the Cygwin-environment
is left. While the XliveCD is running the user could try out the GRASS
application (i.e. in a tutorial, ...) - nothing at all has to be installed
on the Windows-Machine.
Any ideas?
Marco
