I was thinking of putting them in a ram disk with SquashFS to speed up the system but it can only read and not write. As far as I know the only time writing is needed is with a system update. -- Douglas E Knapp Amazon Gift Cards; let them choose!! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001078FFE?ie=UTF8&tag=seattlebujinkand&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001078FFE" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001078FFE?ie=UTF8&tag=seattlebujinkand&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001078FFE</a> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a></blockquote><div> How about making /bin a UnionFS. IIRC, it is a fast read-write filesystem. Thanks, Raseel. </div></div>
