ramdisk removed
hi, with all change made in the kernel and the apps from my distro the ramdisk is not more needed. the distro from Samba give me the idea to totally remove the ramdisk. now, my new kernel dont load any ramdisk file, all is in the hard-drive. (like samba's distro, but without a "emulated" ramdisk) you can download the new kernel (based on svn448) at http://stephaneweg.no-ip.org/files/krnl448.7z

did you actually removed the ramdisk too, or you just dont use it?

the kernel is modified to not load the ramdisk (also he is removed) else when you load the rd from a floppy. the kernel is modified to launch app , load drivers , load skins , etc.... from the hard-drive and all apps are modified to load theirs files or load programm from the hard drive

Thank You ! I wanted to do this about 1 year ago and failed, couldn't figure out FAT32 code. Matt :)

Ramdisk is useful. It is very fast device. If some program works hardly with hard disk, it blocks access from other applications and the kernel itself. So if all ramdisk is redirected to hard disk, the system in such situation even can not launch CPU with Ctrl+Alt+Del...

Good. But where should I locate the files, how is it organized?

the kernel load: the drivers from /hd0/1/kolibri/drivers/ the fonts from /hd0/1/kolibri/fonts/ firstapp (launcher) , vrr_m and cpu from /hd0/1/kolibri/bin/ somes app has ben modified , for example launcher load his configfile from /hd0/1/kolibri/etc/ else theses files, you can organize all, how you wan
