Linux software...



   From: mikebw at bilow.bilow.uu.ids.net (Mike Bilow)

   Many Linux CDs come with a "live filesystem."  This allows you to
   run Linux from a very minimal configuration, using just a boot
   floppy, a swap partition on the hard drive, and a CD, without
   actually installing.  Of course, since CD is a slow medium, system
   performance will be painful.

Is there any way to get the kernel to use the hard disk partition to
cache the CD as well as process data?
