Portable installed system that boots in UEFI as well as BIOS mode

[Israel]

If it is small enough, it might be nice to add the option to load it 
into ram.
(I can't remember what that is.. maybe zram??)  something like what 
puppy does.
A 64bit system with EFI will (almost assuredly) come with enough ram to 
make using 64bit worthwhile (more than 4 Gig).
Just a thought..
Thanks for the info!
