Default Thanks; and nice to hear from you, Shep

I'm looking for ways to do a complete RAM held Instance of the OS, similar to what Fedora does in live_ram, Ubuntu in toram, and how other Linux Distros have that option in their initial Boot Script.

I know, someone will say, "then use the Linux Distro"; but hey, I'm looking to see what can be done with OBSD, since I think my Platform's been around long enough for User Base to adapt the OS for the hardware.

I like the RAM instance - beats waiting for the DVDs to spin up every so often. So, whether it's for a persistent or non-persistent base (I can always mount another USB Drive for storing files), I'd like to see if there is such an option available. If not, would this be a suggestable feature?

Thanks.
